Hear Angus McMillan and Derek Ross at Open Stage March 2009


Calling all poets and songwriters!

Open Stage returns to The Birkhill Hotel on Wednesday 25 March for an evening of poetry and song. Dumfries and Galloway Arts Association would like to invite local songwriters and poets to get up on stage and perform. As well as an Open Mic there will be some fantastic guest spots to spur things on. This month's guest spots are provided by musician Sarah Ade and poets Angus McMillan and Derek Ross.

Rab Wilson, DGAA's Burns Writing Fellow says: "Even if performing’s not your thing, don’t miss the chance to see and hear some great original material! Whatever your tastes in music or poetry come along to Open Stage, showcase your skills and meet like-minded people in a friendly and chilled out atmosphere."

Make sure you get there early – registration for all those who wish to perform will take place between 7pm & 7:30pm on the night! Entry is £3. For more information call Davie Kelly, Literature Development Officer for DGAA on 01387 253383.
