We never quite know what to expect at Write Out Loud Woking at the Lightbox these days – and that’s how it should be. We had three new performers, two of them (Chris Ross and Eleanor Hobby) reading for the first time anywhere. The other, Richard Alleyne, a familiar poetry face but a debutant at Woking, delivered a moving and passionate poem about London stabbings. Heather Moulson, part of the Teddington-Woking-Guildford local open mic poetry axis, unveiled her debut collection, Bunty, I miss You!, to immediate acclaim. And Donall Dempsey, MC at the 1,000 Monkeys in Guildford, wound up the evening in spectacular style, rending open his shirt, and then embracing his wife Janice while she was still attempting to record his performance! We also warmly welcomed back Geoffrey and Lorri Pimlott, home again from the heat of Thailand and acclimatising to an English February, and an equally nippy Lightbox. Many thanks also to Pete Jardine, Karen Izod, Karen Swaley, Carla Scarano, Andy BJ Low, Janet Collinson, Eddie Chauncy, and Ray Pool, making a total of 16 readers on the night, plus compere Greg Freeman.
Eddie Chauncy is featured poet at Poetry Performance at the Adelaide pub in Teddington, on Sunday 3 March. The 1,000 Monkeys open mic at The Keep pub in Guildford is on Monday 4 March, with more open mic poetry at the Cranleigh arts festival on Tuesday 5 March, a night that also features Janice and Donall Dempsey, Heather Moulson and Ray Pool. Meanwhile next month’s Write Out Loud at the Lightbox is on Thursday 21 March, with guest poet David Cooke. Plenty more poetry to look forward to!
