The Glasgow Review of Books presents DARREN MCGARVEY, headlining an all-star night of the best hip-hop & poetry from the Glasgow scene.
Also well known from his work on BBC television, and bringing an exclusive preview of his new album to entertain and enthral the Stereo crowd, Darren McGarvey’s influence is present wherever Scottish rap is found. With a string of releases from 2003 - 2008, including Friendly World and Summer Knows A Darker Shade of Grey, Darren became one of Scottish Hip Hop's most influential artists; contributing to the popularisation of the Scottish accent in rap music. More recent works include Government Issue Music Protest and Trigger Warning; two interconnected conceptual albums exploring themes of identity, class and nationalism.
Joining Darren on the night, and helping to keep the intensity and energy levels in the red will be revolutionary rappers Texture and Johnny Cypher as well as three of Scotland's best, most electric performance poets - Iona Lee, Billy Letford and Imogen Stirling. At £10 a ticket, this is a one-off opportunity to see an extraordinary line-up of performers bringing the full spectrum of power, passion and poetry to the stage.
