Aspects Festival Poetry Slam 2014: Winner and runners-up announced

Well done to all our entrants from last night at the Aspects Poetry Slam! We're very happy to have had our first event in Bangor and many thanks to the Aspects Festival team and The Rabbit Rooms for having us.

We had a lot of great entrants, some reading for the first time in a slam, so an extra round of applause for them! The standard was very high; the second round was very tight, and was probably overall the highest-scoring second round that I've seen in a slam.

In 3rd place: Rachel Hedley (reading in her first slam event);

2nd: Michael Wilson;

and our Aspects Festival Slam Champion of 2014 is David Braziel!

If you attended the event and enjoyed it, please let Aspects know, and hopefully we will be back next year.
