Sonnet Youth #32: Glasgow

Sonnet Youth is a spoken word house party. A literary rave. A poetic piss up - bringing together poets, authors, rappers, comedians and musicians for a night of no holds barred performances.

Curated and hosted by Kevin P. Gilday and Cat Hepburn, we're proud to present a night of non-stop entertainment from some of the most unique artists plying their trade in Scotland, and beyond.

Our February bill is a heady mix of big names and vital new talents:

- You'll know our headliner as one of the stars of Never Mind the Buzzcocks but before appearing on your screens he was one of the UK's top performance poets - it's Phil Jupitus aka Porky the Poet.

- Fresh from touring her piece 'The Drift' with the National Theatre of Scotland, Hannah Lavery will be sharing her beautiful words with us.

- Award winning stand-up and star of Scot Squad - if he's good enough for the First Minister he's good enough for us - it's Stuart McPherson.

- Artist and activist Ellie Harrison will be reading from her essential new book 'The Glasgow Effect'.

- DIY king of the Glasgow music scene, Lovers Turn to Monsters, serenades us with his melancholy hits.

Plus...

- Exciting new voice, Orla Reid will be sharing her work for the first time on a SY bill.
