Welcome to 2025 friends old and new! We are back for another month of poetry(:

This month we are lucky to have the incredible Gwen Rhys performing as our feature act. Gwenhwyfar Ferch Rhys is a writer and spoken word artist from Wales and Scotland. In 2022, she was appointed as one of the inaugural Young Makers (Poets Laureate of Scotland), and went on to perform in this capacity at festivals such as Wigtown, Dandelion and the Edinburgh Fringe. Her debut spoken word show (and currently unpublished) pamphlet, [ac]quiesonce,’ moves between personal experience of gender transition and Welch history and legend; with both converging on the theme of ‘expectation.’

So be sure to get on down to Beans, as this will be a phenomenal way to kick off the year right. The link to presale tickets is in our bio, but if they do sell out, we will also have some available on the door.

Signup to speak is on the door at the night. If you have any questions please feel free to flick us a message, hope to see you all there!💖💖
