Lyrix Organix: UnFOLD
ft. Solomon OB + Toby Thompson + Sophia Thakur
On 4 October, National Poetry Day 2018, UnFOLD releases EP2, a collection of 5 of UK’s outstanding young voices – poets, rappers, change makers – accompanied by a contemporary classical string section, percussionists and visual artists.
To celebrate this, UnFOLD brings a spellbinding live production to Band on the Wall featuring three spoken word artists, full band, and animations show:
Solomon OB (National Slam Champion)
Toby Thompson (“easily one of the most gifted wordsmiths” – Akala)
Sophia Thakur (TED, Nike)
Kieron Rennie (Barbican resident)
Laurie Ogden (Roundhouse)
Lyrix Organix are acclaimed and defiantly independent curators of music and poetry, restlessly experimenting with live performance. Their stages have seen legendary performances by Akala, Kate Tempest, Kojey Radical, Ed Sheeran and the cream of the British spoken word scene. Hosts of a major late night stage at Glastonbury Festival – the infamous ‘Rum Shack’ – and co-producer of UK Beatbox Championships, Lyrix Organix are specialists in designing and delivering youth education programmes in events, poetry, music and much more with the likes of the Roundhouse, BIMM London and across the world with the British Council.
