Presented by leading spoken word record label Nymphs & Thugs, LIVEwire promises to be an electric evening of spoken word performance at The Edge, Chorlton.

Fronted by poetic powerhouse Luke Wright, the night will also feature Luke’s highly acclaimed  Nymphs & Thugs label-mate Louise Fazackerley. Plus there will be a very special guest, yet to be announced, from elsewhere in the North West.

Hosted by label owner and spoken word rising star Matt Abbott, LIVEwire is a night out to completely transform your perceptions of poetry, and to open your mind to a new realm of spoken word performance.
