Thursday 16th July, 2009The Sunday Times praised Aisle16 with “Highlights of the spoken word scene” and they have since become one of the most sought after poetry acts in the UK. The collective, including Luke Wright, Ross Sutherland, Joel Stickley and Chris Hicks (who all perform solo as well as in Aisle16) started from humble beginnings running a poetry club above a communist themed pub. Together the four have created some of the most dynamic and ground-breaking poetry shows in the UK. ‘Powerpoint’ won a Time Out Critics’ Choice award in early 2005.
Follow-up ‘Poetry Boyband’ enjoyed sold out shows in Edinburgh before being awarded Time Out Critics’ Choice of the Year the same year. ‘Services To Poetry’, which saw them visit England’s motorway service stations looking for poetic moments, toured the UK in 2007, finishing with a three night run at Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre. Aisle16 has now grown to accommodate Tim Clare, Joe Dunthorne and John Osborne.
