fortyfivedownstairs Spoken Word Circle

In the third week of April, fortyfivedownstairs continues the widely-enjoyed Spoken Word Circle happening for writers of every flavour to test or give birth to their freshest material and works in progress, within a relaxed and inspiring gallery setting.

This is an un-ticketed evening open to anyone from the curious to the ambitious who have an interest in sharing or experiencing living, breathing literature. The Spoken Word Circle encourages emerging and established writers of poetry, creative writing, lyricists, playwrights, novelists, biographers, diarists — all with a pen or keyboard and a fire in their belly for words are welcome.

After the readings there will be an opportunity for easy dialogue and feedback over a wine or beer at special pricing.

Join us for a special one-off evening of spoken word, art and ideas!
