I'm very pleased to announce that I will be the guest poet at the Ballroom Cafe in Newtown in October.
The details are:
Date and time: Sunday 17 October 2010, 4pm–6pm
Venue: The Ballroom Café, Newtown
(corner of Riddiford Street & Adelaide Road - see map)
Contacts: Neil Furby, ballroompoetrycafe (at) gmail.com
L. E. Scott, (04) 801-7773 (daytime)
Running Order:
- Open Mike Poets
- Musicians - The Gracious Deviants
- Guest Poet - Tim Jones
About The Performers
Gracious Deviants Pete Edge and Darrel Greaney are an acoustic duo. Their sound is heavy with harmony and steeped in the traditions of the NZ singer/songwriter.
Tim Jones is a Wellington poet and author of both literary fiction and science fiction. His work has been published in NZ, USA, UK, Australia, Canada and Vietnam. He has just completed the manuscript for his third poetry collection, Men Briefly Explained.
Tim says:
The Ballroom Cafe poetry readings in Newtown, Wellington on the third Sunday of each month have rapidly become a staple of the Wellington poetry scene. That has a lot to do with the excellent hospitality of the venue, and even more to do with the great job Lewis Scott and Neil Furby have done in organising the events and bringing in an excellent, multicultural mix of poets, performers and audience members.
I am really pleased to have been invited to be the guest poet at October's session. If you're in the neighbourhood, I hope you'll be able to come along, listen, and take part.
