UK Poetry Slam Champion Tyrone Lewis teams up with Writer and Director Kayla Martell Feldman to bring you PROCESS, a monthly Spoken Word night featuring some of the most exciting acts across the scene.
This month is another absolute banger with our regular open mic (sign-up on the night), sacrifices from our fantabulous hosts, and a headline poet from the one and only Bradley Taylor!
Bradley Taylor is an award-winning poet born and based in Birmingham. In 2024 he won the Roundhouse Poetry Slam, the night of which was the biggest poetry slam in history. In 2025 he released his debut collection ‘You Missed The Best Part’ before embarking on a nationwide tour. Bradley is the host and curator of Piece of Work, Birmingham's premiere poetry night held at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, as well as the co-host of The Big Gay Poetry Night.
Bradley has appeared at the Hay Festival, Cheltenham Literature Festival, The Inspirational Youth Awards, on BBC News and on BBC Radio 6 Music as part of Craig Charles' ‘Class of 2024’, in which Craig Charles described him as ‘A brand new voice and a fresh perspective on the art of poetry and performance’.
Bradley’s work has appeared in Gutter Magazine, Shooter, Strix and across Birmingham train stations as part of Birmingham Hippodrome’s and photographer Paul Stringer’s project The City That Spoke To Me. More recently, he was commissioned to write a poem for Steven Knight, creator of the Peaky Blinders.
In 2025, his performance at the Roundhouse was nominated for the Sky Arts award for poetry.
He writes for, and about, people.
“From the moment Bradley takes to the stage you can tell he belongs there. A brilliant and engaging performer who pushes the boundaries of what poetry is and can be, and who takes the audience with him every step of the way.”
Harry Baker
“A brand new voice and a fresh perspective on the art of poetry and performance. Finding majesty in misery and making the mundane move you to laughter and tears. He leaves an emotional impact whilst employing a delicate touch. A wry observer of the first quarter of the twenty first century.”
