Poetry & Potatoes: Open Mic event in Digbeth

This Sunday 29th January, from noon till 6pm at the Market Tavern in Digbeth, there will be a gathering of the finest performance poets in the West Midlands for poetry and roast potatoes.

The event is organised by a new collective called Four Canals: Paul Rafferty, Louis Campbell, Spoz, Big Bren, Jimmy Fantastic, Emma Bryson, Lizzie Smith and more. It will be the first regular Open Mic event in a long time that is supported by Four Canals, the old Rainbow crew, New October Poets, C.D.G., Colourfree visions theatre and other organisations involved in live literature.

This report came from Dreadlockalien, current Poet Laureate for Birmingham. He tells me more dates and information will follow, so keep checking back if it sounds like your sort of thing.
