A great way to celebrate Black History Month – Teesside University and Tees Valley Arts are delighted to invite you to enjoy an evening of Words n Dub, brought to you by two living legends – Benjamin Zephaniah and Dennis Bovell.
Benjamin Zephaniah – Britain’s most recognisable and popular poet – surely needs no introduction. This is an extraordinary opportunity to see and hear him live and in poetic person – don’t miss out!
Dennis Bovell (here with his fabulous Dub band) has made a huge contribution to Britain’s music – reggae, lover’s rock, punk – and to cultural and political awareness.
Come along to Words n Dub, have a great night, listen, learn, dance and celebrate your soul!
All welcome. Free of charge.
