Brrrriiiillllliant! Love it, love it!!!
Although I was unable to be there last minute, I was filled in on everything! So I felt like I was actually there.
I heard everyone was amazing and put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes & in rehearsals.
So I’m saying a well done & BIG UP to everyone involved! Heard Thierry was fab! Those were Rukus’ words – said he learnt so much!
Next stage is individual showcases…. Byron’s coming up beginning of Sept in Bristol, then Rukus’ 9 Oct @ Deda in Derby.
Though I will keep you in the loop!

Great moment of the show – the heckle and Rukus getting on stage.
Didn’t actually see it myself as outside being staff, but I felt the wave of tension come out of the tent, then heard Byron say ‘I’ts just a poem mate’ so popped my head in and saw Byron and Rukus face to face … then Rukus started his poem and I realised it was part of the show.
Heard that several people were caught off guard and were ready to intervene (you can hear that on the sound track too)
Excellent!
