Open Mic Event
Website: https://joewilliams.co.uk/
Poetry returns to the Chemic Tavern with the first edition of this new event, Chemistry! Hosted by Leeds poet Joe Williams, Chemistry will be bringing you some of the best poets and spoken word artists from the north and beyond, as well as an opportunity to read your own work on the open mic.
For our first event, we’re very pleased to welcome headliners Clare Shaw and Rachel Bower, two magnificent poets who, between them, have won a whole sackful of awards and prizes, as well as publishing many excellent books. Keep following the page for more details about our headliners in the run-up to the event.
If you want to sign up for the open mic, just ask Joe for a slot when you arrive. We’ll do our best to fit everyone in. We welcome everyone from first-timers to veteran performers, so if you want to give it a go, please do. Please stick to the time limit of 3 minutes (which includes any introductions and other waffle!).
Entry is on a pay-as-you-feel basis. If you don’t feel able to pay anything, that’s fine. All donations go to the guest poets, who will also have books for sale.
Doors at 7.15pm for a 7.45pm start. I hope you can join us!
