26 Presents... An Evening of Spoken Words
Polar Bear, Joshua Idehen, Inua Ellams
Friday, May 13, 2011. 7pm
Ever been to a gig where the performers tell stories? No music. No instruments. Just words. Tales. Narratives. Ever seen three people share a stage and share their stories to entertain? That’s spoken word. Hear Polar Bear , Joshua Idehen and Inua Ellams use rhyme and rhythm to bring stories to life at Woolfson & Tay on May 13th. They’ll take you through their imaginations and bring you into their lives.
This event is free to members of 26 – though there are only 50 spaces available for members, so be quick. Another 26 tickets, £5 each, are available to non-members. If you’re a member of 26, email Rachel Moore at events@26.org.uk to book your place. If you’re not a member, email Rachel and let her know you’d like one of the 26 extra spaces. Again, be quick. Spaces will disappear in a couple of days. Look forward to seeing you there.
Oh, if you’ve never experienced spoken word, here’s Polar Bear with Jessica (see video below).

About 26
26 is a diverse group of people who share a love of words, and believe their potential is hugely underestimated. Many members work with words for a living, as writers, language specialists, editors, designers or publishers, but anyone who cares about words is welcome to join. Together, we hope to raise the profile and value of words not only in business, but also in everyday life.
