“Grist and Mixy prove that poetry is far from dead, but alive and kicking and pumping with rhymes in our classrooms and on our I-pods before the register has been called. Grist and Mixy have devised a refreshingly imaginative and unique poetry show, so sit back and let these formidable rhyme-smiths get you drunk on their words.” Rhian Edwards

Since forming in 2008, Mark and Mixy have been challenging the preconceptions of poetry and hip hop across the country. As ‘Dead Poets,’ they have performed in venues ranging from nightclubs to secondary schools; from festivals to formal dinners. They appeared on Radio 6 Live with Steve Merchant and have recently been on a National tour with Phrased and Confused.
