Poetry reading at Coffee House Poetry Night at The Troubadour, Brompton Road, London 13 Nov 2017

It was so lovely to be back at The Troubadour, it had been five months since my last reading there. I was one of 22 poets that read in the first half. I read my new poem Armistice Day. I always love to hear the variety and high quality of work by the other poets that read at The Troubadour.

At around 9pm there was an interval which allowed me to catch up and chat with some familiar faces. After the break the poetry resumed. In a new format, four poets, Paul Stephenson, Jane Yeh, A.F Harold, and Lorraine Mariner all sat on stage and for the next hour would take turns standing at the mic to deliver a poem before allowing another poet the chance. The random looseness of it was fresh and dynamic. Once again a really lovely evening at The Troubadour and I can't wait to return.
