Commonword's Superheroes of Slam competition returns for 2009.



The June Heat at Bolton's Octogan Theatre was won by Chris Jam. With approx 15 entrants and a standing room only crowd, Chris handled the pressure marvellously to show off his vocal dexterity, as well as hitting home with his engaged writing. Impressive performances there too from Louise Fazackerley (pipped to the post by one point) and Gemma O'Neill. Maybe they will win out at one of the following Slams?

The next heats are: July 5th (Hebden Bridge) 3rd August (Wigan) 23rd September (Manchester) and October (Oldham, Leeds, Liverpool). The final will take place on 21st October in Manchester at a venue yet to be declared!

We have not yet obtained the complete information for Liverpool but will update as that information comes in. For details correct at June 11th 09 see the eflyer (above: right click on it and download it) or email admin@commonword.org.uk and ask for 'Slam 2009 Details'.
