Write-On Ripon stages second open mic evening
If you enjoy writing, this event in Ripon on Monday could be for you.
Literature lovers are getting ready for the sequel to Write-On Ripon's first open mic evening in February.
The stylish brick-built basement under Curzon Cinema on North Street, will again be the venue for Monday night's readings of poetry and prose..
Dion Child, who organises the writing group, told the Stray Ferret:
"The first event proved such a success, that we agreed on the night that we would come back for more.
"The 30 people who attended, were able to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, the great acoustics and the positive audience reaction, to an eclectic mixture of original works."
Mr Child, himself a creative writer and poet, added:
"I am relatively new to Ripon and am absolutely knocked out by the depth of writing talent that I have seen from people of all ages in this magnificent and inspiring city.
"There is still room for more writers to join us on Monday and whether they want to read a short poem or story they have written, or simply listen to the words of others, all will be given a very warm welcome."
Write-on Ripon Open Mic II begins at 7.30pm and entry is free. Further details are available here.
