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

New
Sheffield Poetry event!

WaT
Radio "Poetry Show"
The Red House
Solly Street on 29th!
Paul
Amber
and
Ruth Grimsley
co-host a special night to be recorded for
Words & Things Radio ch-3.
This will be part of our new multi stream channel choice
starting soon.
Everyone is welcome to come and read their poetry at this
informal and cosy event at
The
Red
House , Solly Street Sheffield.
Admission is free!
and you can be assured of a warm friendly
atmosphere where you will be given a chance to read something
you have written yourself or maybe from another poet?
This will not be on the scale of the usual
Open
Mic Roadshows
and is intended as a relaxing and entertaining showcase of the
spoken word and a chat amongst fellow writers.
This is a new venture conceived by our our very own Bard of Broomhill,
Ruth Grimsley
who will be also presenting her unique and unmissable poetry
readings.
Paul Amber
will also bend our ears to his diverse writing skills.
Please support us at this new event as it is the hoped we can
bring back a regular performance platform for local poets to
present to a potential world wide audience.
