All aspiring poets are encouraged to pop along to the next Pulsar performance poetry evening.

The live microphone event takes place at The Goddard Arms, Clyffe Pypard, near Swindon, on Thursday March 17 at 8pm.

David Pike editor of Pulsar poetry magazine said: “All are welcome to attend and read their own poems or poems of choice and a pa system will be provided. You can bring your own acoustic guitar for accompaniment if you wish or you don’t have to read poems just come along and soak up the ambiance.’’ Entry to the poetry reading is free.
