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 presents the dazzlingly rude and boisterous Flyte Nyte 2025! Colin Bramwell, Iona Lee, and Leyla Josephine host poets, rappers, and spoken word artists all fighting to become the first Flyting Champion using nothing but wit, verse, extravagant verbal abuse, and name-calling – highbrow it isnae!
The line up will feature:
Joelle Taylor versus Hannah Lavery
Michael Mullen versus Ross McLeary
Bee Asha versus Kate Ireland
Amelia Baylor versus Darren Connell
