It’s all a bit Roundhouse centric this, isn’t it?

But WAIT, there’s MORE!

Georgie’s knack for blending the relatable and the profound has earned her praise beyond the stage. On social media, she’s captivated over 150k followers, garnered more than 6.8 million views and her work has been shared by Malorie Blackman, Adrian Lester and British pop-rock band Bastille who said her poetry was ‘fucking brilliant’.

From platonic loves to Pitbull and everything in between, Georgie is building a reputation as one of the most engaging voices in contemporary poetry.
