Join us for Bury’s only regular poetry open mic night!
Once More with Meaning is a night of poetry and eccentricity, featuring reading from open mic-ers and some very special guest poets, hosted by local poet and author Gemma Lees.
This month’s guest is Joy France, a performer who enjoys taking each audience on a journey filled with unique surprises.
“Joy’s range is wide and sourced broadly. She can propel listeners from the raucous to the reflective”
