Not slams as such, but open mics etc. Bad Language http://badlanguagemcr.wordpress.com/ <br />You might find info here http://www.cultureword.org.uk/ and Poets & players keep an email list of events - To subscribe to the ‘Dear List’ mailing list, please send an empty email to: events-subscribe@thedearlist.co.uk<br /><br />There are regular nights on at Sand Bar on Grosvenor St. called Beatification and Say Something; both which have open mic nights; and Contact Theatre does have regular stuff as well - as well as young people's poetry groups.Adrian Slatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13946068316432524571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15916138.post-38331899687423101752012-03-11T10:00:11.250-07:002012-03-11T10:00:11.250-07:00Hey Adrian,

I moved up here recently and have struggled to find anything so far. There's the festival in October, but that seems to be invitiation-only.<br /><br />Cheers<br />TomTom Jenkinshttp://www.itsravenous.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15916138.post-46319353100186066372012-02-23T13:34:27.861-08:002012-02-23T13:34:27.861-08:00Thanks Adrian for this whistle stop tour of poets ...Thanks Adrian for this whistle stop tour of poets who, let's say, are connected to Manchester in some way. Your post is really helpful to me to try and get a handle on what the poetry scene in Manchester actually consists of - although as you rightly point out, after a certain point, where a poet is from, or was from doesn't really matter. Especially when nowhere is much more than a day and a half away by plane (apart from the moon) and t'Internet brings the whole world in front of our noses. Thankyou for your deep knowledge of Manchester-connected poetry, and for sharing it here.Jenny Wrenhttp://jennywrenandbellawilfer.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
