About the Young Poets

Jess Paynter (she/her)

I am 18 years old and have lived in Hastings since I was just 2 years old. I’ve been singing and writing songs and poems for as long as I can remember! I do it because I love it, writing and performing have always been creative outlets and I love to create pieces which resonate with people. One day, I would love for my words to make a difference.

Tom McCann (he/him)

I’ve been part of Resonate live spoken word collaborations in Hastings for the last two years. Previously, I worked with Eggtooth alongside the Stephen Lawrence Foundation, creating my own original material as part of an award-winning short film inspired by his story.

He hopes to use his art to champion marginalised voices, especially around disability and LGBT+ rights, as well as celebrate the healing power of nature and his love of the sea. He currently lives in Brighton with his found family.

About EMERGENCE

Co-created, co-curated and collective. For musicians, sonic artists, producers, cross-arts collaborators, spoken word artists and audiences.

First held in St Mary In The Castle in Hastings, then enjoying a quarterly slot at The Cockpit, London, EMERGENCE is back to the South Coast for a weekend at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill.

EMERGENCE grew out of The Cockpit’s contemporary jazz programming. For seven years Jazz In The Round has been proud to be part of London jazz, presenting, recording, and broadcasting the stream of evolving talent supported superbly by initiatives like The Total Refreshment Centre, Jazz Refreshed and Steam Down and running stages at Love Supreme, Kings Place, and The Roundhouse.

Like Jazz In The Round, EMERGENCE offers a time and space for players, artists, and audiences to come together for a dance-friendly weekend of events where people can meet, experiment, and make the right mistakes.

About OFFSTAGE

Offstage is a newly commissioned series of online workshops, discussion, Q&As and performance open to young people aged 16 – 25 years, brought to you by 1066 music city in association with Jazz South Eggtooth, DLWP.
