The Platform

Open Mic on the 1st Thursday of the month, for any type of performances; poetry, prose, short stories I love it!

Hi, I'm Abby G Poetree and I have been hosting The Platform poetry open mic night since May 2018. I've been writing my own poetry for 30 years and I love hearing what the local talent has to offer. The Platform is a free night of inspirational entertainment for everyone.

I've been doing some stats based on the Platform mailing list, and, not surprisingly, most people live in Bournemouth, closely followed by Poole and then, surrounding suburbs like Boscombe, Southbourne or Westbourne.

In terms of how people found out about The Platform, the vast majority hear by 'Word of mouth' - so, keep on spreading the word you clever wordsmiths!

I may contact you to see if I can fill some gaps in the data.

Hello, just a reminder that there is NO Platform in August. We take a break for 'silly season' and return in September. See you then😃

We had a great night at The Platform last night, with a broad spectrum of content from a diverse audience. Some poignant, some funny, some challenging, some sad. I'm really glad to see that the Platform is still attracting such a range of people that have important things to share in an entertaining way.

Keep writing people! :D

And keep sharing. We have to live in this world, we might as well make it more bearable. And poetry is good for the soul.

Thanks to Summer & C.W. Blackburn for co-hosting and for all our fabulous poets.
