LIVE WRITING PERFORMANCES and OPEN MIC,
The Lacuna Cafe
Queen Margaret Union (the QMU)
Wednesday 07th Feburary 2007
8pm prompt(ish).

You may have heard about it already. If you haven’t, now you know and come along. And if you have, where are you?

Our “Writer’s Wednesday” is an event aiming to provide a venue for new and current writers to perform their works and for others to be entertained by new talent. In the past few months we have featured guests; Liz Lochhead, Alan Bisset and Alan Riach and hope to invite them back and others in the near future.

As informal and unpretentious as we are capable of being, anyone of any discipline and perceived talent is encouraged to come along and perform. Either by prior arrangement or on an open mic basis. If you are not a writer yourself then we invite you to come along and enjoy the performances. We begin at 8pm and usually perform for around an hour and a half, there is coffee (discounted), snacks and of course, beer and stronger beverages available for purchase. You should expect some form of “audience participation”, with the chance of prizes for creative effort. This is not compulsorary of course. Afterwards we retire downstairs to discuss the performances, or play pool.

If you do wish to perform on Wednesday night, contact us at this address (toad@toadinmud.co.uk) giving as little or as much detail as you like. (Number of works, number of lines in works, estimate length of performance etc.) If you prefer, contact me, Tom Coles, on 0792 635 0161. If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

We also run a website, www.toadinmud.co.uk featuring works from Wednesday Nights and else where, check the site for performance times and upcoming events, as well as seeing what the writers are producing. On the site you can also hear Podcasts (audio downloads) of previous performances.

Yours sincerely,

Tom Coles
