• Join us for Once More With Meaning - Bury's best (and only) poetry open mic night. Bring two poems, and we'll bring the stage. We've got a large, atmospheric performance space in a theatre, access to one of the best bars with the most variety in Bury, a prize for the best open mic-er and amazing guests - now all we need is you! (entrance is through The Automatic - since the door is a little out of the way, simply ask a member of staff at the restaurant for directions and they'll point you the right way.) THIS MONTH'S GUESTS: STEPH PIKE Steph Pike is a performance poet and activist. She has a militant poet's mind and a penetrating eye for beauty. Her first collection of poetry 'Full of the Deep Bits' was published in 2010. She is the Sheffield Grand Dame of Slam 2011 and runs a poetry night in Manchester called 'Word Up'. and STEVEN WALING Steven Waling is excited by words and languages and keeps finding them all over the place. His collections, Travelator & Captured Yes are published by Salt Publishing and Knives, Forks and Spoons Press, and he performs his poetry all over the place. Doors: £2
