The Spice of Life….

Hello Poetry Lovers

On Thursday we went to Poems not Bombs open mic poetry at the Spice of Life pub in Soho. A free event hosted by the talented Paul E McGrane from 3 till 5. A great performance space down in the pub’s cellar. A blissful and decadent way to spend an afternoon……

Adore this picture! Looks like I’m singing a French pop song! When in fact I read 3 poems!

From twenty or so poets, we had the joy of Donall and Janice Dempsey, the amazing Lee Campbell (and Rufus), Manatita Hutchinson (aka Lantern Carrier), and Steve Tasane – these latter two poets were a new discovery for me. Such vibrant and stunning material.

This is the lovely thing about live poetry, you really don’t know who you’re going to meet! I can thoroughly recommend them! I’ve put Trisha Broomfield there in the gallery but sadly she couldn’t make it this time, but Trisha was there and vibrant in July. And will join us again soon.

Poetry not Bombs takes place every third Thursday afternoon of the month at The Spice of Life pub in Soho. Sign up at 2.30 pm. Be there or be square!

Thanks for tuning in, PL’s. We’ll be back real soon……
