Peace in the Park Poetry Fundraiser

Posted on 29. Apr, 2010 by Vox Sheffield in Blog, News

Friday night saw Cafe Euro once more transformed into a haven of spoken word antics, this time for a Peace in the Park fundraiser hosted by Wordlife. With acts from nights such as The Shipping Forecast, Speakeasy and VOX, it was bound to be a busy night. The room was packed with some of the best spoken word Sheffield has produced, with close to twenty open mic slots available and headline slots provided by Stan Skinny, Matt MacAteer and Matt Black. Keep an eye out for future fundraising events, and make sure you keep the 12th June free for the festival itself; you won’t find a better (or bigger) free-entry arts event in Sheffield.

“The Peace in the Park festival promotes peace and understanding by bringing together communities through artistic, musical and vocal expression. Peace in the Park is organised by a group of artists, musicians, students, events organisers and other everyday Sheffield folk, working together in a not for profit collective.

The 2010 festival is set to go ahead on Saturday 12th June, and will be the seventh Peace in the Park, which each year collects money for nominated good causes. The festival is funded by money raised in advance, so look out for these fundraisers to help make the festival happen, and have a good old knees up too!” (Taken from the www.peaceinthepark.org.uk)
