It's the second ever Sunday XPress this weekend at the Market Tavern in Digbeth, Birmingham. Not a venue for the shy or retiring, this one delivers Music, Poetry, Stories and Comedy in a boisterous and rollicking mixture that takes place upstairs in a corner pub near enough to the Bullring for you to be able to slip out and go shopping between sets!
The afternoon kicks off at 2pm but most people seemed to arrive last time nearer the 3pm mark, which is sensible as it's quite a long haul through to 6pm when it finishes. There are free roast potatoes on offer - and they are delicious! - and a different Guest MC every month.
Entry is free, the beer isn't, but there's plenty of parking; the Market Tavern is located in a sort of semi-industrial area and the streets are quite empty there, it being a Sunday afternoon. Though last time I did notice a guy in a garage opposite offering a reasonably priced car-washing service by hand. So you could feasibly get your car washed while you perform!
If you want to know more, you can contact Lizzie on 0121 4713445, or just turn up on Sunday 26th February, clutching some poems or other offerings in your sweaty palm. The Market Tavern is on the corner of Birchall & Moseley Street, Digbeth. The next few dates are 30th April and 28th May. There may be an event in March, but I don't have a firm date for it yet.
