Guitarist James Fromont has been a long-standing face around the pubs, bars and cafés of Auckland for more years than we can remember. This is his first time entertaining us in our friendly environment. • Anna Forsyth is an editor and poet and the founder of Girls on Key Poetry, a poetry event and small poetry press. Her work has been published online and in print. Her books include A Tender Moment Strangers and Beatific Toast. She has been a stalwart of Poetry Live! since the 1990s. • Aidan Howard is the emcee. Don’t forget a little koha for our wonderful guest artists. And there will be two sessions of open mike – please keep each slot to five minutes. And first-time readers are most welcome and will be warmly accepted
