Here's a programme for the Great Grog poetry readings in Edinburgh from now until February 2009. The 'and one other' entries don't represent a vacant space. I'm just waiting for confirmation from a couple of people. Some brilliant evenings of live poetry lie ahead, as you can no doubt see. I owe a word of thanks to Roddy Lumsden. If he hadn't asked me to find a venue for him to read at when he was last up in Edinburgh, I probably wouldn't have bothered to get all this going. I'll give more information on the individual poets in due time, but you can google most of them:

I hope that some readers of this blog will make it along to these events. I'm always pleased to hear from people who would like to read, by the way - email me if you're interested. I'm going to form a small committee to make the decisions on who reads after February (other than those few who have already been booked of course).
