SVEN STEARS

Sven Stears is a multi-grand-slam champion, English National Slam Champion and performance poet. They have performed across the UK and Europe, winning multiple slams in both the UK and Germany. Their heartfelt poetry touches on themes of personal loss, societal trauma, mental health and addiction, but always with little messages of hope.

"Some of the most painfully raw songwriting I've heard all year. Brilliant but emotionally shattering work." Tom Robinson - BBC Radio 6 MUSIC
