Open Mic Event
Contact: sregan09@googlemail.com
Quickfire open-mic poetry hosted on the SECOND MONDAY of each month at New Brighton's historic Magazine pub overlooking the mighty River Mersey.
The evenings start at 7.50pm and usually finish at 10.30pm, though often people hang around for a drink and chat afterwards.
Hosts are Steve Regan and Dave Costello - both prize-winning and published poets.
All visiting poets get TWO 4-minute slots each - so
at the Bards, effectively, EVERYONE IS A GUEST POET.
Usually there are a couple of slots for singer-songwriters too, but this is primarily a poetry venue.
The Bards is ALWAYS lively and friendly.
Humorous, philosophical and spiritual material is particularly welcomed - but basically, anything goes! The atmosphere at The Bards is best summed up by the phrase 'Magic Realism' ... or perhaps the word 'Karnivale'.
