!! TEMPORARY VENUE - Priory Visitor Centre !!
** You DON'T need a ticket to attend or read. **
Recommended arrival time: 7.30PM or a bit earlier, especially to sign up for open mic. Gig starts 8PM.
Fire & Dust is a monthly poetry open mic event. All welcome - page poets, performance poets, slammers, rappers, spoken word artists, and anyone happy to listen to some poetry. Bring poems, bring friends, or just bring yourself along for a listen!
Open mic slots available. For a guaranteed slot: register for a ticket. Alternatively, request to sign up on the night. Slots are limited to 3 minutes (a few extended slots may be available on request.)
OPEN MIC SYSTEM: A few open mic tickets are available to reserve on Eventbrite; the other slots are for sign-up on the night. Priority given to poets who didn't get to read last month. If you read last month and want to read again, your name will go on reserve list for random draw to fill empty slots. Most poets WILL get to read, but sometimes the list is just too busy to fit everyone in!
