Slam Poetry is the newest addition to the eclectic line-up of events in the Tyneside Bar. Beginning in Chicago in 1984, Poetry Slams are a high-energy, fast and furious competition between performance poets.

For our first slam, we have gathered together the elite of the Northern Slam Poets, every one of them already a winner. Each slammer will have three minutes to wow the audience with their words and performance, and then the judges vote, scoring on content, style and audience reaction. Over the night we whittle down the poets until only one is left standing. Slam Poetry, echoing out from the clubs of Chicago, across the North and into the fabulous Tyneside Bar… it’s poetry, but not as you know it.
