Encouraged by last month’s experience at the Crescent Arts Centre I decided to give it another go at this monthly open mic event. Colin Dardis and Geraldine O’Kane are brilliant organisers and kept things relaxed and moving along with little need for the 7 minute bell.
I shared a table with some interesting poetry fans and worked my way through a bottle of Malbec. Colin started the ball rolling with one of his poems ‘Wheels’, which I misheard as ‘Wales’ until I listened to the words.
Agreeing to do it all again next month, I got the bus home, made myself fish and chips and fell asleep in front of the telly. A perfect evening.
