Fire & Dust is a monthly poetry open mic event. All welcome - page poets, performance poets, slammers, rappers, spoken word artists, and anyone happy to listen to some poetry. Open mic slots available. Slots are limited to 3 minutes (a few extended slots may be available on request). Bring poems, bring friends, or just bring yourself along for a listen!
OPEN MIC SYSTEM: A few open mic tickets are available to reserve on Eventbrite; the other slots are for sign-up on the night. Priority given to poets who didn't get to read last month. If you read last month and want to read again, your name will go into the tub for random draw to fill empty slots. Most poets WILL get a slot o read, but sometimes the list is just too busy to fit everyone in!

HEADLINER: LEANNE MODEN
October 3rd is National Poetry Day, so we've booked a national treasure of a poet...
Leanne Moden is a poet, performer, and educator, based in Nottingham in the UK. She’s performed at WOMAD Festival, Sofar Sounds, and Bestival on the Isle of Wight. She was a semi-finalist at the BBC Edinburgh Fringe Slam in 2018, and she’s also performed at the Fourth Wave Feminist Festival, Trinity College Cambridge, and the TEDx WOMEN event at UCL. In Summer 2019, Leanne performed her first solo theatre show, 'Skip, Skip, Skip', at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and her second pamphlet of poetry, “Get Over Yourself,’ was published with Burning Eye Books in July 2020. She is fuelled by Jaffa Cakes, fruit tea, and unrelenting whimsy.
