Tempests wholly unique blend of street poetry, rap and storytelling combined with the spellbinding delivery of an open-air revivalist has won her legions of followers all over the UK. Her remarkable stage presence is wholly audible in this poem, a spoken story written to be told with live music.Brand New Ancients is the tale of two families and their intertwining lives, set against the background of the city and braided with classical myth. Here, Tempest shows how the old myths still live on in our everyday acts of violence, bravery, sacrifice and love and that our lives make tales no less dramatic and powerful than those of the old gods.Contact: [email protected]
