Every month, at the 13th Note cafe in Glasgow, we put on an informal evening of spoken word / music / scratch performance / poetry / debate / dance / film / entertainment by emerging artists who want to try new material, and every week, on subcity.org, we make a little radio show of similar things.

Fundamentally, Initial Itch is an experimental venture: that is; we enshrine the right to fail. How else does a performer discover what works? We want, above all, to create a performance enviroment that is both supportive for artists and entertaining for audiences. On top of this, it’s also a space for like-minded artists to meet and seed collaborations. We think we’ve hit upon a great way to do all this, and hope you’ll agree.
