About the artists
I Am Loud is Scotland’s national spoken word production company. In 2014, their much-loved monthly poetry night Loud Poets emerged, and since then, the company has continued to push the boundaries of what poetry can be – presenting spoken word poetry in a creative, engaging and entertaining way, with some incredible talent at the helm.
Their projects include live shows hosted at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, education series Return to Form and their annual National Poetry Writing Month series. I Am Loud has also expanded into digital production, working with leading UK literary festivals StAnza Poetry Festival, Winchester Poetry Festival and the Scottish International Storytelling Festival.
Katie Ailes is an acclaimed spoken word poet, researcher, and educator. She is Education and Access Director for I Am Loud CIC and has co-devised and performed Loud Poets shows across the UK since 2014. In 2023, she was the Glastonbury Festival Poet in Residence.
Kevin Mclean is an award-winning poet and the Creative Director of I Am Loud CIC. Since 2014, he has produced, hosted, and featured at Loud Poets events across Scotland and the UK. He is also an experienced film producer, actor, and voiceover artist.
