Homebrew is a freshly-brewed poetry open mic and feature night at the Hillbilly Social 101, Bounds Green.
Host Laurie Eaves invites you to come share your words on the open mic or just kick back with some lovely food and drink and check out feature sets from some of the UK's best poets.
Our next event is on Wednesday 21st of May and we've got two wonderful features in the forms of Fiona Broadhurst and Dr. Robin Lamboll!
AND... it's our FINAL GIG for a bit before Amy & Laurie go on parental leave! We're not 100% sure right now when Homebrew will return, so don't you dare miss this one!
FIONA BROADHURST
