Ok, here's our first bit (the first of four bits) of festival-related news...

Sunflower Fest, "an excitingly different and magical weekend festival of great music, arts and entertainment" runs from 22nd-24th August, just outside of Hillsborough on Tubby's Farm.

We'll be hosting two showcases of poets who have been published in FourXFour across the weekend on the Moot Stage:
Saturday, from 14.55-15.30;
and Sunday, from 13.40-14.30.

Our line-up of poets will be announced soon. There are also lots of other poetry readings happening at the Moot Stage throughout the festival, from Catherine Brogan, Geraldine O'Kane, Colin Dardis, Richard Brennan and more.

More festival-poetry news soon...

Purely Poetry review, July '14

5/7/2014

Well, we don't usually hold our open mic night in July (we take a summer break), but I'm so glad we did! I was expecting a quiet night, but amazingly we had another packed house. What a wonderful thing it is to have to put out extra chairs for people...

Thank you to all of those were in attendance, and to all of our many readers, including a lot of first timers (always a joy to hear new voices). In on particular order, they were:

Brenda Liddy, Vincent Hurson, David Smylie, Andy Ward, Sorcha Ní Mhealláin, Helen Harrison, David Braziel, Marie Burns, Michael Bell, Mike O'Neill, Geraldine O'Kane, Eamonn Prendergast, Patricia Devlin-Hill, Anthony Ferguson, Yvonne Boyle, Tom French, Steve Smith, Ross Thompson, Ev McLaughlin, Mario Abbatiello, David Davies, Jim McLean, Mark Cooper, John Mc Guckin, Clodagh Harvey and Jason Ashford.

Public demand may dictate that we hold an August gig as well... no summer break for us! We need to confirm this with the Crescent Arts Centre, but keep an eye on here  for updates (we're also on Twitter: @poetryni). Thanks everyone for your support!
