Harry Baker - Dust || Spoken Word Poetry ||

In 2023 we've taken Loud Poets on the road, holding our signature showcases and slams across Scotland. On 18th November we performed at The Bike Shed in Inverness to a wonderful audience! The show featured an open mic plus performances from Harry Baker, Gill Shaw, and Katie Ailes. You can watch the entire show by signing up to our Patreon (£5/month and above): / iamloud
"Dust" is a beautiful ode to the spectacular normality of love.
World Poetry Slam Champion Harry Baker is a poet and a maths graduate. He writes about important stuff like hope, dinosaurs and German falafel-spoons. His work has been shared on TED.com and viewed millions of times worldwide, as well as being translated into over 20 different languages. His new collection ‘Unashamed’ was published with Burning Eye in 2022 and after a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe he toured his spoken word show of the same name around the UK in 2022/3. He’s mainly just thrilled to be back on stage where he belongs.
“Harry Baker’s intricate, quick-fire rhymes have always been on the impressive side of mind-blowing” - The Scotsman
