** UPDATE **

This event is going ahead with smaller numbers due to Covid outbreaks. Please bring a mask if you have one, we will also provide some. Note some tables may be outside and warm gear, blankets etc are recommended.

Our feature poet can’t make it from Sydney lockdown, instead we’ll hear from local poetry master Vince Stead!

 

Join us in the cafe of the Tweed Regional Gallery for great food, and awesome spoken-word in a stunning location! This month we feature visiting Sydney-based writer, producer and poet, Miriam Hechtman.

Plus the mic is open for YOU to share an original spoken-word piece. Bring along 1 item (2-3 minutes long is best) and sign up to the open mic list from 6pm.
