Worcester Speakeasy this Monday

A new spoken word event is to be launched at 'The Firefly' in Worcester (Lowesmoor) next week - a Speakeasy! So if you're in the Midlands and can make it along there on Monday, January 30th, the evening will kick off at 8pm with a performance by nationally renowned singer/songwriter Jake Flowers, followed by Open Mic floor spots.

To perform, you can sign up on the night, or email the Worcester Speakeasy organisers with a sample of poetry, prose or anything word-based at worcesterspeakeasy@yahoo.co.uk. All are welcome!

Admission is free, though I suspect that, as usual at such events, the drinks won't be. I'm sort of hoping there may be home-made gin lurking in a bathtub somewhere or cups of whisky instead of tea, in keeping with the spirit of the Speakeasy. But I doubt it. Nevertheless, it sounds like it could be an innovative evening - not just your average Open Mic - and I hope it will become a regular event in Worcester.
