• The Malt Bar, The Met

• Join us for Bury's brand new and only regular poetry open mic! Stemming from Bury College's theatre show, Once More with Meaning is now a night of poetry, local ale, and probably a whole lot of eccentricity, judging by the kind of people us poets associate with (namely other poets). It will be a night of two halves: open mikers all get to read one poem (two if you keep it short - let that be a lesson to you), then we wrap it up with a guest for fifteen minutes. We'll have a bit of a break, get a drink from the bar, then re-commence and do it all again! (Please note that The Met is closed at this time on a Sunday, so entrance in through The Automatic restaurant) This month's guest poets: A young poet's special! Join us in celebrating young and upcoming talent. ADAM WOOLLEY Our youngest guest of the night, Adam has a knack for humour and would rather drive a unicorn than a car. Fresh from experiencing organizing his first open mic at Bolton Grammar School, Adam is a dynamo of wit, humour and geekery. ANNA MCRORY The president of the Oxford Poetry Society and ex-darling of Bolton Grammar also, Anna is visiting The Malt Bar for a guest slot. Sabotage Reviews describe her poems as "erudite, funny and charismatically performed." and ZACH RODDIS Host of Manchester's "Say Something", The Poetry Advent Calendar and a huge assortment of other projects, Zach Roddis is a fireball of Mancunian poetry, done the student way.
