Live music and poetry!
no DJs, no dodgy cover bands, just great music and poetry from ordinary
(and not so ordinary) people, and the opportunity to do something
yourself. Events marked * are open to performers by prior arrangement
with the organisers, and it's usually a good idea to start going to an
event to get to know people beforehand.
