At the start of July we had the pleasure of hosting a special Loud Poets x Bad Betty Press gig, featuring Anne Gill, Shanay NeusumJames, Gray Crosbie, and Jake Wild Hall, with wonderful open mic performances from Georgia BartlettMcNeil, Musenga Katongo, Colin Nelson, Themo H Peel, Angela Legg and Lewis Brown! All of it hosted by Loud Poets' own Kevin Mclean. You can watch this full show, alongside all of the other events this season, by signing up to our Patreon for £5/month:   / iamloud  

Musenga Katongo is a tremendous Zambian poet who spent several months performing in Edinburgh in early 2022. We were so lucky to meet him and get to feature him on our stages! His poem 'Mwaiseni Mukwai' is an ode to Zambia and a celebration of his country's hospitality.
