Tonight: The wonderful Danni Antagonist Poet will be performing as part of our 'Ode to the Siren' event that focuses on fabulous female voices:

Danni's poetry weaves universal themes from love and the weather, to tea and travel, with wry humour, sensuality and a dark edge. Expect schadenfreude, some self-deprecation and a well-timed c-bomb...

Her two collections Empty Threats and Emotion Memory are available now.

Tonight. Doors open 7.30pm/event starts 8pm - The Crown, Stony Stratford more info: https://www.facebook.com/events/224503076883983

This evening’s event StonyLive! Presents - Ode to the Siren will now take place in the downstairs restaurant at the back of The Crown.

The StonyLive Scribal Gathering Showcase Special is now live - join us upstairs at The Crown Stony!

Tonight from 8pm:

Michael Gurner (AKA The Sixty Second Scribe, and a former Bard of Stony Stratford).

Michael subscribes to the theory that poetry is very much like the truth, at least in the sense that most people rarely want to hear it, even if it is good for the soul to do so every now and again.

Michael looks at the world around him, seeking out the wonder and absurdity to be found within life in general, and tries to make some sense out of the confusion, hope, anger and frustration that surrounds our daily lives.

And usually ends up getting cross and ranty...
