Words Per Minute
WPM is a monthly performance event hosted by Helen Sedgwick, Kirstin Innes and Kirsty Logan, that gives its audience ten minute bursts of music, film, prose, poetry, and any kind of live performance that we think is good!
On at the Arches in Glasgow on the second Sunday of every month, WPM will soon be appearing at literary festivals in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen, and is hoping to take the show on the road with a tour of the highlands.
