Yesterday saw the launch of our official programme for LINGO, Ireland’s first and only spoken word festival, and we’re super proud of it. Spoken word is all about having a voice, so for this, the third year of LINGO, we decided to ask: What are we using it for?
How can we really amplify voices calling for change? So, we’re showcasing some of the most interesting and inspirational voices from Ireland and overseas to do just that.
From American indie-hop legend Sage Francis and Palestinian poet Rafeef Ziadah, to an evening of craic and conversation about art & social change hosted by Blindboy Boatclub (Rubberbandits) with Panti Bliss, Tara Flynn and female muslim hip-hop act Poetic Pilgrimage.
There’s also a bundle of free events for young and old, with open mics, an epic poetry slam, world premieres of new work, and yer man who writes the limericks at broadsheet.ie. In other words, we reckon we have something for everyone!.

The whole lot of them put together couldn’t better one line by Patrick Kavanagh…on his worst day.
Most drunks in any local pub can spew out better poo than Kavanagh
Super depressing line up….
I feel like I’m being judged by Blind Boy already
‘Man, with your big sword/you shall never pierce me’ alongside a heaping side portion of anti-Semitic doggerel. Hard pass from this Philistine.
Nothing to do with anti-semitism. Amazing how so many white westerners fall for that Israeli propaganda.
If you really think what Israel is doing to Palestine is normal and acceptable then you’re willfully ignorant. And the Jewish religion has nothing to do with it. So accusations of anti-semitism are insincere and false distractions from the truth of what’s happening there. It’s actually insulting to the memory of the holocaust victims to equate that hatred with objections to Israeli state murder and slow genocide of Palestinians. It’s meritless.
You’re right, of course. The white westerner’s mind is putty in the claws of The Wily Jew: they achieve this level of dominance through their insidious mastery of finance, technology and the entertainment industry.
Thanks for sharing fine folks of broadsheet.ie!
Congrats to Panti for being allowed keep her sign up on Capel St!
Total duds every last one of them. Id rather be painting my dog’s toenails
