Great
Northern Slam
Newcastle Northern Stage
Wednesday

The Great North Slam comes to Northern
Stage. It's performance poetry meets XFactor. Ten of the best slam poets in the
North have 3 minutes each to wow the audience with words and delivery and then
judges randomly selected from the audience vote and in each round we eliminate
poets until only two are left to battle it out for the prize, pride and the
glory of becoming Great Northern Slam Champion and the BIG MONEY Prize of
£50.00.
