Toby will be headlining this 2-day immersive, off-curriculum festival at The Corsham School. Spark’s aim is to encourage good Mental, Emotional and Physical Health in young people. (This is a private event)

At Tongue Fu poets, writers and storytellers take to the stage to perform live, amplified by the quick-witted improvisers of the Tongue Fu band.

“…impossible not to get caught up in the magic…the most remarkable spoken word event going”

“A strange kind of alchemy”

Scotsman

Toby will be taking the support slot for his long time inspiration, friend and mentor Dizraeli.

"Rapper, songwriter and raconteur Dizraeli celebrates the publication of his first book, Animal Noises, by taking it on the road. A collection of lyrics, diary entries, experimental writings and surreal illustrations drawn from the margins of his notebooks. Animal Noises is a searingly honest exploration of the mess of human creation, and it bursts with life”

“The Wordmakers Team is having a Summer Bash and we’ve invited our favourite wordsmiths and troubadours: Toby Thompson, Dead Horse Bay and Dizraeli.”

This will be the 9th year in a row that Toby has performed at the opening event of Bath’s famous Forest Of Imagination Festival. Come along to the The Assembly Rooms to hear him perform a specially commissioned poem, inspired by this year’s FOI theme ‘Climate Emergency’.
