One of the ciy's popular hubs where poets and writers of any genre can read and hear good new writing, meet other writers, keep updated what's on and hear excellent musician guests each month. Everyone welcome to read or present at the mic (5 or 6 mins) or come chill as audience.
Musician guest this month is the very talented ROSS MULLINS, keyboardist, songwriter and singer whose songs are distnguished by laid-back jazzy melodies, quality musicianship and the witty innovative sketches of NZ urban life found in the lyrics.
Speaking of Ross's earlier CD Last Man Down, Don McGlashan was impressed by a power of observation that I don't think has been seen before in a NZ album.
Ross's latest CD THE POET AND THE FISHERMAN (released Sept 2016) features tasty playing from the Snaps and friends : Nigel Gavin, Peter Kloopman, Jason Orme, Markus Fritsch, Jim Langabeer and elegant vocals of Caitlin Smith.
Open mic spoken word from 7pm,Ross on 8pm to 8 30pm, then open mic to the night's end. Koha for musician please. Sign up for open mic as you arrive. Random book prizes, word challenges, chickens and free chocolate - with MC Anita Arlov.
Let's hear what you've been working on....
