7pm @ Platform – Word2016 is proud to present Speakeasy#3 the third collaboration between Cardboard Citizens and Lyrix Organix
…The mic stands there, so tempting -A chance to stand up for yourself and whisper or shout – Telling the world what it’s all about – If only you could get over the barriers in the way – Of you having your say – Preventing you from turning up on the day – So you stay in your room, locked away…
Speakeasy is the result of a collaboration between Cardboard Citizens, Lyrix Organix and the young people of Islington, working together to overcome our barriers to freedom of expression. Come on the day and have your say, and maybe show our main character the way. Pay what you think it’s worth.
