SUMMARY:Firebrand Poets
DESCRIPTION:\nFirebrand! Firebrand stands in some people's minds for b
 lazing a trail, burning down the house - and dancing on the tiles of r
 oofs. You may have heard the phrase \"they're real firebrands!\", invo
 lving both destructive and creative powers, destroying what's old, bur
 ning with what's new. We stand for new voices, voices in the margins, 
 voices of the people, community based and justice minded. \nWe are de
 lighted to be hosting our first ticketed event at the brilliant vegan 
 venue, Karamel Club in Wood Green. This will be a specially curated ev
 ent consisting of headline performers, open mic, food & drink, network
 ing opportunities, an intentional ritual and a mystery prize.\nThere w
 ill be six headline performers: Shohid Rahman, Muzibur Rahman, Liba Ra
 vindran, Ms Defiance, Soulful Si and Kabbo Hue Qua\nfind out more abou

  trained physicist moonlighting as an artist and poet. I've been writi
 ng poems for about five years and am currently writing a play based in
  ancient Athens. My poems tend to be on personal, political and philos
 ophical themes. I call them the three Ps. And although physics starts 
 with a p, I can promise you there is no physics in my poetry.\nLiba Ra
 vindran: Liba Ravindran (he/they) is a spoken word poet, community org
 aniser and social justice activist from Sri Lankan Tamil heritage, bor

 dings at various venues.\nShohid Rahman: Shohidur Rahman is or tries t

 riginally from Leeds (and Bangladesh). He has written poems, short sto
 ries and pieces for theatre, and been published in various places, suc
 h as 'Riptide Journal' and 'The Guardian Weekend'.\nMs Defiance - Nina
  Simone meets Bertolt Brecht. A unique voice in the world of music and
  spoken word, Ms Defiance blends the soulful, protest-driven spirit of
  Nina Simone with the political edge of Bertolt Brecht. Winner of the 
 prestigious Bread and Roses Award for Songwriting and Spoken Word (Glo
 bal Solidarity), and a semi-finalist in the UK Songwriting Contest , M
 s Defiance has captured attention with powerful performances that chal
 lenge the status quo. Featured on BBC and in The Guardian , her work s
