Join us for a cosy winter evening of Poetry, Song and an Open Mic at café Roux.

We start off with two featured poets: the wonderful Finuala Dowling and host Tara Rose, then the stage is ready for open mic. This is a community event, please bring your full expression, your love, your enthusiasm, your poems, your songs. Whether you want to share or just watch. Bring all that you are:

See and be seen  –  Hear and be heard  –  Move and be moved.
