TAKE A PUNT.

One of the easiest ways you can support the MVT and your local grassroots music venue this month is by getting out there and taking a punt on an upcoming show.

Open mic emails for our event on 17th April have now been sent … if you were unlucky or missed applying why not try heading over any way for our late night on the night open mic sign up section at 10.30pm … poet & story tell into the early hours !

Just a reminder that House of Books and Friends offer a pay it forward coffee service if you are in need of a treat or able to offer a few quid to brighten someone else’s day

Happy birthday Lou Mach .: I have just read your & West. book and it is wonderful. Congratulations again 😊
