Poets Off The Endz<\/strong>\u00a0are a dynamic collective celebrating the raw, unfiltered energy of Nottingham\u2019s spoken\u2011word and music community led by Rapper and Poet Jah Digga. Through live events, workshops, and digital storytelling, POTE champions emerging voices and creates space for artists to explore identity, culture, and creativity. Rooted in collaboration and authenticity, the collective continues to push boundaries and redefine what poetry and rap can look and sound like today.<\/p>\n

The collective curates multidisciplinary performances and delivers developmental workshops supporting emerging poets, musicians and performers.<\/p>\n

This year, POTE is building on that momentum with a new stage show, festival appearances, live events, fresh creative partnerships, and an even stronger focus on platforming Nottingham voices.<\/p>\n

Baby People\u00a0is a music and arts development organisation based in Derby. The UK\u2019s first dedicated Hip Hop school which uses art and culture to engage and support the needs of the most deprived in our communities. We believe that art and music can be empowering tools and forms of expression for people in all stages of life.<\/p>\n

\u201cBaby People are creating valuable opportunities for young people across the Midlands to develop their talent alongside industry professionals. They are creating contemporary music platforms for emerging artists to produce, perform and tour work to new audiences.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Arts Council England<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
