Oi Barman! In the City
Oi Barman! In the City
Commissioned in collaboration with Culture Mile, Oi Barman! is a lovesong to bar life, to low pay and late nights; to our fellow champions in spirits, and brethren in tips.
In this specially commissioned show, spoken word artist Joshua Idehen tells the stories of bar staff in and around Smithfield and the City of London; an area market traders, city traders, and clubbers all call their own. Grab a free drink, stand at the bar, and hear tall tales of Saturday nights and Sunday mornings.
