inky fingers

the last open mic before the madness of the inky fingers mini-fest

Left to right you have Alec Beattie, Rachel McCrum and Richard Tyrone, all mighty wordsmiths and performing that night and during the festival.

Rachel's just brought out a new chapbook of her poems which are pretty stunning. Here's one appropriate to the weather but it's best heard live from the northern oirish lassie herself

Weathering under bridges or sycamores
Or burst red umbrella,
Through raindrops, we drop wet glances

later on, pub chat ended on if anyone had actually had sex in space yet and if so was it a controlled experiment?
