I created poetry at the Fireside open mic in November 2014. We left Fireside in July 2015 because the new owners wanted to charge everyone £5 entry fee, I being a Socialist refused. I found a new venue The Capel Hotel. I decided to change the name from Fireside Poets to Poetry open mic at the Capel out of respect for Claire Bennett the landlady of the Capel who gave us the room that we use for the open mic for free.
Capel Poets today.
