IS A LIVE POETRY GIG THAT HAS BEEN AROUND IN CAIRNS SINCE 1998
NIGHTVOICES NIGHTVOICES NIGHTVOICES NIGHTVOICES NIGHTVOICES NIGHTVOICES
CREATED BY MYSELF AT HAVANAS CAFE IN BUNDA ST CAIRNS
All questions to dianepithie @ gmail.com
Those of you who remember NIGHTVOICES at HAVANAS on Bunda Street (and other venues when it closed down) will know how wonderful it was to have an open mic available. There will be little organisation - just come along with your poems. Musos/Poet combos are welcome. This is not a commercial event so no spruiking of books or other gigs BEHIND the microphone. This is for performance only. This is a place to practise performing, being inspired, networking and sharing your writing and creativity. Honing your skills can lead to getting published. Here is a poet who learned her craft at Nightvoices

2009 POETRY MEETINGS (archive)
POETRY ALIVE AND WELL IN CAIRNS:
Sapphire Live poetry was conceived as a bohemian meeting place for poets, artists and musicians. The current venue is in Lake St, Cairns. Pip Sheehan began the meetings after Nightvoices went into temporary hiatus when its venue closed down. The meetings went for six months. Pip has had a dramatic change in her life and has moved to Wanaka, New Zealand and is now a member of POETIC JUSTICE. We will miss her inspirational mode of conveying poetry. Pip has given me a PA. So, on the last saturday of the month (September 2009) come to the Tapas Bar, the Ruby Room - and join in the poetic license - 3 pm till around 4pm
YUNGABURRA FOLK FESTIVAL WAS ON IN OCTOBER 2009
