speakeasy is a union of creative spirits who seek to communicate and entertain collectively through their individual art forms. Since its birth in 1999, speakeasy has grown to embrace in its gamut, spoken word, song, dance, art, vocal percussion and drama, without losing its underlying focus; to stimulate through the expression of unique talents while having fun!

A key element in speakeasy’s successful residency at The Green Room in Manchester is their world-class live band, which provides the platform for all the diverse talents to gel and jam. Yet, speakeasy is more than a resident group; members of the collective have performed and run workshops all over the world and continue to do so, often under the banner of speakeasy. It is this continual back-and-forth movement, the transitions that members of the collective undergo as they develop as individuals, and the constant experimentation that happens on the live stage as a collective that keeps speakeasy fresh. That’s why anyone who has ever seen speakeasy live will tell you – man, they can JAM.
