Open Mic Event

Contact: freda247davis@gmail.com

We are inviting guests every month through the winter.

Everyone is welcome to contribute their stanzas in the Open Mic. We all get an enthusiastic encouraging welcome from the audience so why not give it a go?
Very friendly atmosphere. Good quality beers and wines; over 14 as event is in the pub

19th May 2014

the May event for Puzzle Poets was moved from 5th to May 19th because this first Monday in May is a Bank Holiday and the small rooms at the Puzzle can hardly hold the many visitors who will have been enjoying music at the Puzzle for the festival weekend.

May 19th
Guest poet will be Duncan Curry
Duncan Curry is a poet, teacher and pastor. He writes poems about people: love, loss, urban life, children, marriage and faith are all here. There are the common struggles and joys of life represented in these pages: losing weight, airport control, foreign holidays and family relations.
Always with an eye for the comedy of life, his poems convey a compassionate and gentle spirit.
His collection The Darts and the Commentary is published by Smith Doorstop.
His new collection is called: Slimming For Ephesus.
Duncan pastors Harvester Reformational Church, Halifax and also teaches English in Huddersfield. He is 56 and is very happy to be married to Beverly.

The guest will be followed by a brilliant open mic as usual.

Entry: donation to the hat

Time: 7.30pm

The Puzzle Hall Inn, in God's own country of Pennine West Yorkshire, is full of character, and full of characters in the adjoining bar. But Sowerby Bridge's Puzzle Poets, aided by the mic, gave as good as they got on Monday night in terms of noise - and delivered high-quality poetry, too. Guest poet Ralph Dartford read from his new collection Cigarettes, Beer and Love, and gave us two football poems as well, and spoke of his pride at being named poet-in-residence of Ossett Town FC. John Foggin maintained the Ossett connection and contributed some masterly poems from his sequence of childhood recollections; David Lindsay delivered a fevered account of some right carryings on at Luddenden Foot; other contributors included Spoken Weird's Genevieve Walsh. Write Out Loud's Julian Jordon and Greg Freeman added their twopennworth, and with Freda Davis presiding serenely over proceedings, it was no puzzle why this was a very satisfying poetry night.

Hello, I didn't notice the comment section had been added to our gig. That's good. Look forward to a few more WOL visitors. This month's guest sounds worth a trip.

Hi Alexandros, Michael does sometimes read at The Puzzle (And has been a past guest) but I am not in regular contact with him. As I suspect you know, his work and the delivery of it are spellbinding. Win
