making contact with belfast poets

Hi Dave,

I have just stumbled across your web-blog about being in Ireland
looking for
poets and poetry and writing and things and was sufficiently (sorry,
had to
use that word) interested to click on the link and send you a quick
email.

I am a member of a crazy band of performance poets based in Belfast and
we
have been established for about 4 years performing regularly in a
number of
venues. We have a website called www.belfastpoets.com set up as a
showcase and
resource for local poets and you are welcome to view it and use the
forum!

Anyway, we have a gig in the John Hewitt bar in Belfast on the 10th
September
at 8pm if it would be something you might be interested in….its a 6
team slam
and has teams from across the UK! Also, it would be nice to meet up
with you
for a chat to talk about performance poetry in Belfast!

I’ll leave my contact phone number and most night are fine to meet up!

Good luck on your trip and hope to see you round.

Regards
