Like the modern rap battle, ‘flytings’ flourished in 15th century Scotland as a form of entertainment, and as a means of garnering respect, attention, and speaking truth to power.
Today, GUBSMACKED return to the Festival with the dazzlingly rude and boisterous Flyte Nyte! Join your hosts, Colin Bramwell, Leyla Josephine, and Iona Lee, and witness poets, rappers, and spoken word artists all fighting to become the evening’s Flyting Champion using nothing but wit, verse, extravagant verbal abuse, and name-calling – bring it on!
