Poetical Outlaws In Conversation

About Poetical Outlaws In Conversation

Each week we will be chatting to a poet, musician, rapper or comedian who has been a Wanted Fugitive at our monthly spoken word & music event held at Diego's Joint in Sunderland. We will hear them perform some of their work and find out more about them. From writing to performing, influences and inspirations with some interesting and funny stories along the way. As well as from Sunderland and the North East in general, we have hosted Wanted Fugitives from further afield, such as Nottingham, Glasgow, Lincoln, Huddersfield and London.
