Welcome from the WaT Team!

Words & Things
is
the premier Sheffield based website for creative writing and
musical performance including our established
Open Mic Roadshow events! If you’re a writer, poet, singer,
musician or even a budding comedian, then this is the place for you.
We’ve been in
existence since
2007
when the website was built just for a few friends to publish their
poems and thoughts. We couldn’t have predicted what was to come in
the three years after with all of the adventures, events and
interesting and talented people that we’ve come in to contact
with, and now with over10,000 visits to this site!
These events have
led to us starting a new venture into the world of producing an
online
radio show.
This was originally going to be aimed at promoting and airing
unknown and unsigned musical talent from around the Sheffield
area. However, due to the power of the internet and networking
sites like Facebook and
MySpace, we managed to contact,
and be contacted by, artists from all over the world. This all
serves well for Words And Things’ plan for world domination.
As you can see we have huge plans for the Words And Things
project. This also means that we are always on the lookout for
people who want to get involved and help us with the running of
the organisation. This can be anything from helping to maintain
the website, down to designing and distributing promotional
literature, to aiding in the organising and running of our live
events - and anything in between. If you want to get involved

Uploading Update!


Whats new and coming soon!
The
long awaited 2nd
Words & Things
Radio Show
is now delayed but will hopefully be on air soon with a long awaited special edition!
Mikey
T
and
Leviathan
will
be presenting some new music and comedy for 2010, including special live
sets from local artists and poets recorded at the Sheffield Live
studio!
Also we present
Ruth
Grimsley

own section. This time the legendary "Bard of Broomhill"
takes a look at
"Aethetics" (the philosophy of
the arts). Plus
Leviathan Stormrider III
has put pen to paper for the first time in ages with
a new poem for his
frozen wastes!
Its catch up time and any outstanding
poetry submissions in our "in
box"
will be published!
Also we have plans to get present more
Open Mic Roadshow audio streams
soon and will be arranging
the first live recording events at a local venue very soon.
Stay tuned for more information!







WARNING
- This month’s update will be one long apology to everyone!
Firstly, apologies to all of the artists appearing on the next
radio show. Due to many personal commitments, acts of nature
etc. it’s taken much longer to produce and record the show and
we hope that you are still on board with Words And Things
despite this. Please bear with us, we promise it will be a fun
packed show full of you amazing people!
