We’re all looking forward, aren’t we, to breathing deeply in an atmosphere free of fear, in surroundings blessed with the verbal creations of writers who touch our souls in such cerebral fantasy or artistic pleasantry that the oyster becomes our world once more.
Well here we are!! Come and behold this fine pod of wondrous words, and a little music. And if you’ve an inclination to perform your own works, let us know via Facebook or email - spoke@albarz.uk
7:30 to 10:00 pm - please book in advance for a performance slot and/or a seat at a table, cabaret style, to view and listen.
