Our LIVEwire events began through Nymphs & Thugs in 2017. Since then, they’ve gained recognition as one of the most dynamic spoken word poetry nights in the country.
We produce events in our native city of Leeds and have recently produced semi-regular nights in Manchester and Weston-super-Mare. Longer term, we plan to have a network of LIVEwire events around the UK.
