I didn’t post yesterday as I was too busy resting on my laurels, as they say!
Thursday’s open mic night went brilliantly, far better than I anticipated: we had about 10 performers (most got up more than once), ran for an hour and a half, the venue was full and at the end a number of people asked when I was arranging the next one. And when I said November, they wanted one sooner!!
It was a huge relief, and a real buzz.
We had mostly poetry, a mix of self-penned originals and recitation of published works, but also some singing and storytelling. For a small community, we have a lot of talent!
I can’t say how happy I am that our event was so well received; I only expected about 5 people to turn up (3 of them my family!) so to have a full house was way beyond my imagination!
Now I have to start thinking about next time!
Happy writing,
EJ
