• 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: GUEST COMPÉRE DERMOT GLENNON BEN MELLOR Ben is an award-winning slam poet (BBC Radio 4 Slam Champion 2009, Dike Omeje Slam Poetry Award 2008), writer and actor who has performed his work at theatres, festivals, schools, colleges and prisons nationally and internationally. AND ALABASTER DEPLUME When performing alone, Alabaster dePlume will address a room, and have his speech, song and behaviour hold it in moments of nonsense and clarity. He seems to feel he ought to share certain things, just in case everyone else was just too afraid to mention it first. He has been described by one critic as “Harrowingly funny.” £2 entry.
