Séamus Fox is a spoken-word poet and author who is based in Portslade but who comes from Craigavon, Co Armagh in Ireland. He has published two books of poetry and he won the All Ireland Poetry Slam in 2009. Much of his work focuses on social commentary, he talks about poverty and injustice and often controversial subjects that most people seem compelled to ignore. Séamus won one of the heats of last year's Hammer and Tongue audience and was among the finalists last summer at Brighton Open Air Theatre where he finished in 3rd place. https://www.instagram.com/feam...

She’s appeared on Sky Art's 'Life & Rhymes' and her first one-woman show, 'Leanne Shorley: Nice Things', debuted at Brighton Fringe last year. She's a former winner of the Hammer & Tongue Brighton heats, as well as a winner of London's longest-running poetry slam, Farrago, and she's headlined the glorious Rebel Soapbox at The Brunswick. https://www.instagram.com/lean... https://www.bbc.co.uk/programm...
