Had a great night at the Loud Poets Poetry Slam at Spin last night, and while I didn’t win, I got some really positive feedback and was an honour to perform amongst such a hugely talented gang. Congrats to the well deserved winner @mucklewriting and thanks to those who came down to support Aberdeen’s poetry scene!

I’m trying my hand at the old spoken word stuff for the first time in a decade. Wee bit rusty 😬 (also it’s totally unnatural doing this in front of a camera solo)

The concerts highlight local Tasmanian talent. These seems to be plenty of that around the island state.

LOCAL MUSICIANS SHINE AT LAUNCESTON TRIBUTE CONCERT
Tasmanian singer-songwriter, Lucie Thorne, performed three Joni Mitchell numbers—A Case of You, Night Ride Home and Amelia, at this year’s Tasmanian Poetry Festival tribute concert to Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen.
The tribute concerts form part of the Tasmanian Poetry Festival’s annual program of activities that includes performance (‘slam’) poetry events in diffrent Tasmanian towns and cities. When asked why a slam poetry organisation was organising music concerts, one of the organisers, local Launceston performance poet Yvonne Gluyas, said “…songwriters are poets. The artists who are the focus of the tribute concert might put poetry to music, however it is still poetry even though it is sung and not recited.”

For anyone curious about what to expect from my YouTube channel, here is a little teaser/trailer for my Halloween audio "Siren's Wailing" set in the infamous town of #SilentHill. 😏
There went quite a bit of work into the sound design and braincells into the script writing, so please check out the full audio over on YouTube here. 🧡

I also have "classic" poetry readings on there as well. ☺️
