Two cracking spoken word events for you this week.
The first is our old favourite WORD IS BORN, which is this Sunday at The Others in Stoke Newington.
The line up includes extra special sets from two exemplary providers of live hip-hop.
To begin with, Dizraeli & Bellatrix are going to give us an exclusive taste of a special set they have been concocting. Two mouths and one double-bass intertwined in splendid hip-hop polyphony.
Once you've recovered, the recently re-energised and rawly rambunctious JH Collective will be displaying their unique jazzed out hip-hop soul stew.
The second is a new one called THE BUS DRIVERS PRAYER at Hackney Attic, the venue at the top of the new Hackney Picturehouse on Mare Street.
