Performers Wanted for Live Poetry Special 2022

Want to perform your poetry on the radio?

The annual Hannah's Bookshelf Live Poetry Special is back! (With a couple of little changes...)

On Saturday 26th March, Hannah’s Bookshelf on North Manchester FM will be broadcasting its annual Live Poetry Special. And once again, I’d like to invite poets and spoken word performers to get involved and perform their work on the show.

For the first time in nearly three years, I'll be inviting poets into the North Manchester FM studio to perform their work live on the show! However, I have to admit I've enjoyed being able to feature work from poets from further afield on the last two poetry specials, so I'll also be offering a limited number of slots for poets outside Manchester to pre-record their performance for inclusion in the broadcast.

Whether you’re a veteran performer or new to reading your work, I’d love to hear from you. Drop me a line via the Contact page, tweet me or message me on Facebook if you’d like to perform or would like more information about how to take part. Slots are limited, and will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Please let me know if you want a live or pre-recorded slot when you contact me.

The Hannah’s Bookshelf Live Poetry Special will be going out on North Manchester FM on Saturday 26th March at 2-4pm. It will be broadcast on 106.6FM (in the North Manchester area) and online (for the rest of the world). Performance slots are 6 minutes long.
