*Please Note: earlier starting time this week due to a large booking at the pub later in the afternoon. We have a hard out at 4pm so we're opening the board at 1pm and the show will kick off no later than 1.30pm. This is not a drill, and not poets' time*

Continuing our run of most excellent feature poets, this week we have multi-award winning poet Dan Hogan gracing our stage under the dome. They really have such an impressive CV and body of work. Dan is coming to us from Dharug and Gadigal Country (Sydney), so we highly recommend you get along and enjoy the day with us. Plus open mic of course, wrapped and wrangled by your MC Steve Smart.
