The Lingo’s annual poetry slam is the real star of the festival and we will be broadcasting this high-energy and inspiring show LIVE from the LINGO Spoken Word Festival. The poetry slam is where top poets from Ireland and beyond compete with their best performances to win the 2,000 year-old bogwood trophy and a chance to be the opening act for the fantastic Sage Francis, who is the headliner of this year’s Lingo festival.
