Live in Brighton

An evening of poetry, music, talks and friendly socialising

At The Greenhouse, Church Road, Brighton.

The format is open mic, hosted by Andy Greenhouse.

Matthew is trading from his new poetry set curated specifically for this event - you can find out more in the f v café shop. - and Arnaly will be reading her inimitable writing, all the way from Canada. There’s a brilliant line up of talent for the night.

Come along and make new friends or just meet up with old ones. Even if they’re not old.
