Rosie Blagg and Siobhan MacMahon reading

Rosie grew up in Somerset and has lived in Leeds for the last seven years. She works as a freelance translator. Her poems have been published in The North, the Wolf and new magazine Cake.
Siobhan is an Irish Poet and Playwright resident in Leeds. The live experience of the Spoken Word is at the heart of her work and she has years of experience delighting audiences with her vital and often comic performances. Invoking the magic, myths and mayhem of the ancient Irish Goddesses and their modern day counterparts, she draws you into the mystical Celtic twilight world where trees talk and the sea calls you home….. Siobhan writes and performs widely as well as devising and running projects which explore and celebrate the spoken word. She has performed her poetry at Festivals, Arts Centres and theatres including: Stanza poetry festival, Scotland, the Ilkley Literature festival, Bradford Book Festival, the Halifax Irish festival, the Drum Arts centre, Birmingham, Seven Arts centre, Leeds, the Morley literature arts festival, Wicklow Arts festival. She was the winner of the Ilkley literature Festival Open Mic 2008 and Sheffield Off the Shelf literature Festival ‘Poet Star’ 2006
