| Performance Notes | The Royal Albert Hall presents an evening of poetry, spoken word and music in the Elgar Room featuring George the Poet supported by Jacob Banks.
George The Poet is the twenty-one year old conscious wordsmith who hails from North-West London. George's lyrical content offers politically conscious, humorous and hard-hitting social commentary through the media of poetry. This often draws from the Politics, Psychology and Sociology course he studies at Cambridge University. George champions a new brand of poetry, which is set for commercial and critical success.
George is keen to help underprivileged young people succeed and contribute to their communities. The first step is to stimulate sociological discussion in inner-city circles through poetry. Most important is that the youth challenge the situations, stigmas and assumptions they are faced with. In conjunction with greater education this will help cultivate an enterprising, politically conscious generation of social actors, as opposed to reactors.
Guests at the event included Tinie Tempah (rapper), Nicola Roberts (singer) and Wretch 32 (rapper). |
