It’s got maps and pictures and… and …everything!
Not just the most comprehensive, up-to-date list of poetry events available, our gig guide now has pictures of the venue and location maps. You just print out the details, and turn up ?" obviously with your newly-written, well-rehearsed poems to hand.
“Look that’s it over there. See, that’s the picture of it. Oh, well done, Write Out Loud,” I hear you say. “How do they do it?”
We do it thanks to our unsung heroes in the back room: David Andrew who has patiently, diligently trawled through the gig guide on its recent major review, written to every gig listed to ensure the whole thing is up-to-date, and supplied the data for our fantastic programmers, Paul Emberson and Michael Jordon, to make the continuous improvements that you keep telling us are making a difference, in keeping UK open-mic and performance poetry, and live lit (a)live.
And Paul Blackburn, that legend in his own opinion, pulls it all together, somehow managing the website and his own daily living activities and other eccentric routines. Incredible, innit? If you benefit from the website, whether as an organiser or an individual poet or writer, please feel free to make a donation ?" no matter how big ?" to help us keep improving and growing the site.
Thanks also to all who support the site in so many ways.
