This years Open Mike was a smashing success with over 60 quality readings packed into 2 hours. Every poemcrafter, prosesmith and playwright delivered magnificently and we thank all of the guests who managed to make it on the day. For now, here is a picture of the festivities and we hope to see you all next year!
