SpeedPoets re-launches at Brew in May

It is very exciting to announce that SpeedPoets has found a new home at Brew, right in the heart of the city. Brew is an exciting new venue, located in Lower Burnett Lane. Here’s a map for all you visual types:

The space has great potential and will soon also act as a gallery, promoting the works of emerging artists.

And to celebrate, we have three features to re-launch SpeedPoets in their 10th year on Sunday May 1.

The music feature comes from Brisbane songstress, Charity Carleton from Ichabod’s Crane, who will be playing songs from their latest album, Honeydew (listen to tracks from the album here) and the poetry features will come from two dynamic Brisbane ladies, Michelle Dicinoski and Carmen Keates.
 
And as always, there will be live sounds from Sheish Money, raffles & giveaways + Brisbane’s hottest Open Mic Section, so make sure you are there to celebrate our move across the bridge, into the heart of the city. 10 years, 5 homes, too many poems to count… See you there!
 
Date: Sunday May 1
Time: 2pm – 5pm
Place: Brew, Lower Burnett Lane, Brisbane City
Entry: Gold Coin Donation
