This week at Cherry Poets we have not one but two featured artists for the price of one. And as always that price is $0. So that's value right there for ya! Benito Di Fonzo and Melita Rowston are coming all the way from Sydney for your entertainment, so let's show our appreciation by drinking and whooping like it's 2003 and we're in Glebe.

As always the open mic board goes up at 1.30pm and the gig starts at 2pm.
