Gracie May Bawden

Gracie’s poetry is a confessional performance: her diary read aloud in uncomfortably honest free verse. It is sometimes self-deprecating, and sometimes a fierce attack on the world, the patriarchy and the audience.

Gracie has been performing at The Railway Inn (amongst other places) for about eight years now. In her spare time, she likes to prop up the bar, making all sorts of fun, new mistakes she can write about.

Issa Farrah

Issa Loyaan Farrah-Kelly creates percussive, mantric and image driven poems. Musing off a lifetime of hip hop and classic literature, he creates oral soundscapes on themes from psychosis and addiction to festival nights and love. He has been commissioned by the British Arts Council and is currently working on his debut E.P, having been awarded an A Space Arts Lucky Dip Bursary.

Issa founded Write a Note Poetry Open Mic (Southampton) in 2016, and since 2017 has regularly hosted shows on Riverside Radio  (London) wherein he presents a selection of musical and poetical skill from the local scene and beyond.
