So Ryan has been dropping behind on keeping all the social media up to date, but more so here than anywhere else.
He's sorry. Very sorry.
He will be dealt with accordingly.
Anyway, what sort of content do you want to see from us? Let us know and it will be Ryan's punishment to sort it all!

Last night we announced the headliner for our August event. And within two hours of that, we had completely booked out our open mic slots.
We can't thank you all enough for the support, and for making Voices the success it continues to be. We love each and every one of you 💚

We have a question...
What could Voices Poetry do for you?
How can we better help you to find and share your voice? We have a few project ideas, but we want to know what you want and need first!

We are still here, alive and kicking!
Ryan's just useless at keeping on top of all the socials 🤦🏻♂️
The writing prompts for May were created and never posted across any of the platforms, so they will be up shortly, as will the call for open mic performers at the next Voices from the Fountain!

Annoyingly, due to signal issues (thanks O2), I couldn't post the usual updates live from the Fountain.
However, it was a great night of poetry and once again, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to some of the best local talent.
Thank you to everyone who came and made hosting this event such a blast!

Our mic goes live in less than 24 hours and we have 5 slots left up for grabs - one to book in advance and 4 on the door!
We're going a little rogue this March... There isn't @ headliner, we're instead having an all out open mic showcase.
As such, we have more open mic slots than usual! A grand total of 18 slots are up for grabs!
So comment/DM/email us to book your slot and it could very well be YOU closing the show!
