ThePoetry Spoke - closes

Thursday 19th June 2014 12:57 pm

ThePoetry Spoke has now closed its doors for the final time. We finished as we started with a wonderful event. If anyone wishes to look back at some of the poetry that we were fortunate enough to share at la gondola and Gallaghers; please search Merseypoetryscene on youtube. You will also find some excellent poetry from the Wirral Ode Show at the Egremont Ferry and some fine musical performances from some of the brightest talents on Merseyside.

We thank all those that supported us, from Guest poets and Guest musicians to open micers (from near and far) and audience members.

Thank you!

Thx John, Thx Ken,

After 70 events, a National Poetry Day marathon, multiple competitions, publishing poets in magazines, a video project with 17,000 views across the world, an in-house professional photographer, dozens of guest poets and musicians and 4 different venues...we're tuckered out. We had a great run, loved every minute, but all good things come to an end. Our numbers were universally good from the first day to the last...we just ran out of steam as organisers. No doubt others will pick up the baton and create other great nights in the area.

Your guest night was great John, a real pleasure. Thx for being our guest, it was a lovely night :)

Hope to see people soon, your goodself in Rochdale Ken. Paradoxically, we'll have a lot more time for poetry ourselves now.

Best of
