Fen Speak

Fen Speak is Ely's long-running regular poetry, spoken word and storytelling open mic night (now in it's 12th year) where local writers come together to share their work in a friendly environment.

As part of Ely Arts Festival, there is a guest slot from James Domestic. James is a poet, punk, musician, soul and reggae DJ, songwriter, vocalist, musician, and painter. He holds a doctorate from the University of Essex, has toured the world and elsewhere with The Domestics, and made records with more bands than is healthy or sensible. His most recent book of poetry prose and short stories, “Poets Day Dream’ was published in March.

Sign up on the night for a 2-3min open mic slot to read poetry or prose, or just listen, a warm welcome awaits you.  Free entry, all welcome. Doors open 7.00PM for 7.30PM start, bring your own refreshments. Donations gratefully accepted.
