At Ó Bhéal’s 65th open-mic, the camera came out for the night as Matthew Sweeney was filming for his new documentary, so we couldn’t let the opportunity pass to capture some of our famous open-micers. Here they are.
Our featured poets for Ó Bhéal's annual twin cities exchange with Coventry and fifth virtual event are Emilie Lauren Jones and Matt Black. The evening includes our usual five word challenge & open-mic session. Emilie Lauren Jones has performed at a variety of events and venues across England. Previously published in HCE Magazine and I am not a silent poet, she is Poet in Residence for Hillz FM. Matt Black is a specialist in commissions, joyful mischief maker, reluctant grown-up and celebrationist. He was Derbyshire Poet Laureate from 2011-2013 and his forthcoming publication is Sniffing Lamp-posts by Moonlight (Upside Down, 2020). For More >>>
