Spoken Word Spotlight, January 2024: Pint of Poetry, Stamford

I felt it would be apt to start this monthly feature, right here with what I consider to be my home event.
This ever popular event, usually hosted by the current Stamford Poet Laureate, is held every month, usually in the gallery bar at the Stamford Arts Centre.
Sometimes with up to 20 different readers, the event is an open mic (although no audio equipment is currently used), with readers signing up on the night.
Pleasant surroundings, usually with art exhibitions as a background and a small bar.

Occasions to look out for – January is a Burns Night Special and April is the Stamford Laureate Final.
