✨ HEADLINERS
BRADLEY TAYLOR
Bradley Taylor is an award-winning poet born and based in Birmingham. In 2024, he won the Roundhouse Poetry Slam — the biggest poetry slam in history — before releasing his debut collection You Missed The Best Part and embarking on a nationwide tour in 2025.
Bradley has performed at Hay Festival, Cheltenham Literature Festival, The Inspirational Youth Awards, and appeared on BBC News and BBC Radio 6 Music as part of Craig Charles’ Class of 2024, where Charles described him as “a brand new voice and a fresh perspective on the art of poetry and performance.”
When he isn’t performing, Bradley takes his typewriter to parks, bookshops, museums and festivals across the country to write Poetry on Demand for strangers. He also runs writing and performance workshops, including those with the National Trust.
His work has been featured in Gutter Magazine, Shooter, Strix, and across Birmingham train stations as part of Birmingham Hippodrome’s collaboration with photographer Paul Stringer’s project The City That Spoke To Me. He also co-hosts The Big Gay Poetry Night alongside M. L. Walsh.
In 2025, his performance at the Roundhouse was nominated for the Sky Arts Award for Poetry.
Bradley writes for, and about, people.
