Moving Voices is Southampton’s longest-running open mic, held in the unique setting of a converted train station waiting room. It’s a brave space and a safer space - welcoming, intimate, and fiercely inclusive. Whether you're taking the mic for the first time or experimenting with something new, you'll find a small but mighty audience ready to cheer you on.We centre LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent and marginalised voices, celebrate diversity, and create room for stories that don’t always get heard, even the messy and raw ones. Come as you are, share what you’ve got - poems, songs, stories, or something in between.
Sign up from 7pm.
Hosted by Jez Franck and Great Aunt Tranni aka Nicola Beck
Jez is a nonbinary poet and multidisciplinary artist whose works treads liminal worlds of symbolism, ritual, wildness and activism.
Nicola Beck aka Great Aunt Tranni is eccentric in the family who swears through Sunday lunch, with poems packed with amused disdain, sharp wit, and a few choice expletives. Woker than Gen Alpha, Great Aunt Tranni is very disappointed indeed, and keen to tell you why.
