Poetry Open Mic - 1st November 2006 The QMU
In tandem with www.toadinmud.co.uk, a new contemporary writing journal, 7pm
Wednesday the 1st November sees the launch of a new weekly open mic poetry
and short-writing event.
Come along to the Queen Margaret Union’s new Lacuna Coffee Bar and see
pieces by the various new and established writers currently working at
Glasgow University. Coffees and more effecting drinks available, the event itself is free.
If you are not a member of either the QMU or the GUU you will need to be
signed in, but don’t worry, we will be signing people in ourselves.
Anyone who has read to an audience will attest to the fact that it is a
totally different, yet complimentary, beast compared to writing. The first event will
see sets by the renowned Liz Lochead as well as students such as Robbie
Guillory, Dominic Burgess and Tom Coles. Come along expecting to be
entertained.
If you wish to read at the event or require more information please contact Thomas
Coles at 0792 635 0161, or toad@toadinmud.co.uk, or just turn up on the night
with something to perform. We want all ages, styles and (self-)perceived
abilities.
