Poetry at The Fringe – Sunday, 18 October 2020
It’s been a tough year for Poetry at The Fringe, as it’s been a tough year for everyone and everything. Events. Tough to sort and plan and adapt – and just as you’re going again you’re not. Poetry at The Fringe started. Then stopped. Then started again. And then stopped. The Fringe Bar was cautious […]Archive

Poetry at The Fringe – Sunday, 9 February, 2020
It was the first session for 2020 – Poetry At The Fringe – and it was the quietest I’ve been to. A nice day in early February means many people will be any place where indoors poetry is not. Also it was a change in the schedule, a week or two earlier than normal due […]Archive

Poetry at The Fringe – Sunday, 15 December, 2019
For the final session of Poetry at the Fringe for 2019 it was all open-mic, no special guests – no music, no theme – it was all about the regular attendees, with, as always, a few first-timers or long-time watchers, first-time readers. It was a fantastic line-up. Maybe the best open-mic run of the year. […]Archive

Poetry at The Fringe – Sunday, 17 November, 2019
I really enjoyed this month’s session at The Fringe. Wasn’t really feeling it last month but felt better about my own work this time around I guess – and just in general it was a very nice vibe. Another diverse open-mic with 15 poets performing, everything from sing-song and an actual song from a musician […]Archive

Poetry at The Fringe – Sunday, 20 October, 2019
Bit late with this one, but last Sunday it was the regular open-mic and guests at The Fringe for some poetry. And I try to get along when I can. I’ve made it a regular thing this year. Last month wasn’t so flash. But this month was a bumper open-mic and a really great range […]Archive

Poetry at The Fringe – Sunday, 15 September, 2019
Back to The Fringe for some poetry. It was about celebrating Spring, though I either didn’t really process that or didn’t really care (and/or don’t have any Spring poems anyway). So I got up early, second poet this time, and read three short new poems. The first, Stuff, Not Nonsense I wrote late on Friday […]Archive

Poetry at The Fringe – Sunday, 17 March, 2019
You never know when something special is going to happen. We’re lucky to have too many events and moments of entertainment and distraction, we cannot possibly get to a fraction of them – so how would we know about all the special things we are missing. And the horrific slaughter in Christchurch just this past […]Archive
