Perth Poetry Club opens This Saturday at 2pm, 28 March 2009

Please support the beginning of this new poetry outlet in Perth. It should be a good venue and a strong entertainment element with Janet Jackson and Helen Child at the controls! Poetry, music and a bar - all with FREE entry. Bring your family and friends.

Perth Poetry Club opens 28 March 2009

In case you can't read the small print, I'll be the inaugural guest poet to launch the Perth Poetry Club, an initiative bravely taken on by local poets Helen Child and Janet Jackson. This is scheduled to be a Weekly event - ain't that great. So, get behind it. Stick posters up. Tell friends and colleagues. Lasso friends and relatives. Tell them lies if you have to, but get bums on seats. It's FREE, although donations will not be refused.

First Poetry & Performance Night at The Fringe Gallery

Terry Farrell compered and welcomed the audience last night at The Fringe Gallery's inaugural night of literature and music down in Willagee. Myself and Sally Clarke (pictured) were guest readers, and Rob Binelli was the musician/singer, with instruments created by himself. The open mike section started with Mike (pictured), and included Janet Jackson, Peter Jeffery, Annamarie Weldon, Jo Clark, Terry himself and a young lady singer/songwriter, Susan.

It will be on again on the last Sunday of March, so please support The Fringe Gallery readings by attending and bringing friends! I will post full guest list and details before the event.

Sunday Evening @ The Fringe Gallery - Sally Clark & Andrew Burke

It is always flattering to be asked to open a series of almost anything, so I'm standing tall - which is difficult for me, right - to be one of two guest poets at The Fringe Gallery for their first Poetry and Performance Night this Sunday night in Willagee. The other poet is Sally Clark with a new book out, if I'm not mistaken. & somewhere there is a musician - I'll need to do more research on that score (no pun intended).
