We’d love to see you at one of our next events, which take place at venues throughout Leeds and feature a wide and diverse range of artists from the city and beyond.

‘….there was a buzz of excitement amongst the other young whipper-rappers, apparently, Lence was ‘the real deal’, had to be seen, he was ‘special’…he was spectacular, young, edgy and intense; words hitting home, nerves burning in his chest and pulling out a performance that connected directly with each person watching…that’s a talent. When Lence organised his first Blur the Lines… it forced me to admit that I’m a hypocrite. ‘I ’ate poetry, me’ used to be my response to poetry nights, yet there I was saying, ‘I right enjoyed that.’ The people he selected were clever with words and had real things, life things, to say; they made connections. He selected poets/MCs with fresh perspectives and the skills to convey them. I’ve seen Lence perform his hip-hop sets at least ten times. I’ve watched him grow and develop, tighten his already compelling performances. He’s retained his intensity but now owns any stage he stands on. I think you should witness his belief and honesty, the intensity of his words and those of the people he’s selected, It can be words that open up our worlds or soothe our prickling souls. Go feel the passion. TRUTH’.
