Here’s a Halloween that’s guaranteed to raise your spirits! Dress up in your best hag-rags, grab a broomstick and fly down to an evening of rhythms, rhymes and other things that go bump in the night at Bilston’s super-unnatural performance poetry competition! Fifteen verse-wizards aim to move your hearts and hearing parts with their magic words, but who will be the next Harry Po(e)tter? Which witch will cast a stanzaic spell over you? Your hosts, Grand High Sorceress Sara-Jane Arbury and Master of Cemeteries Marcus Moore, provide tricks and treats aplenty, while random judges rate the writing, assess the performances and gauge the warmth of the applaudience. Your response to the bards on show will help sort the prize pumpkins from the bobbing apples! For further information, or to take part in the Slam, contact Marcus at info@spiel.wanadoo.co.uk or ring 01285 640470. Ticket price includes a spookily sumptuous curry!
