Just a short taster from ‘The Poets Will Be Heard’ a documentary about the UK’s amazing spoken word scene available now on Radio 1’s channel on iPlayer here http://www.bbc.co.uk/tv/radio1

Over the last year, we’ve seen the UK underground spoken word scene grow and grow as people increasingly turn to poetry and storytelling as a way of getting their voices heard.

In the documentary for 1Xtra Words First, meet the poets leading the way in this revival and find out how they found their voice.

Featuring some of the biggest names in the scene George The Poet, Suli Breaks, Kate Tempest, Anthony Anaxagorou and Hollie Poetry AND new talents like Amaal Said and Toby Thomspon.
