Evidently... Stand Up Poetry every second Monday of the month at the Black Lion, Salford. Forget what you learned in school. This is poetry at it's best.
Description
Poetry returns to the place that the legendary John Cooper Clarke once trod.
Our aim is to bring poetry back to the masses and prove that it can be more than you were taught in school. It is funny, it is thought provoking, and above all else, it is ENTERTAINING.
