My thanks to Leah and Jake - fantastic promoters - every turn of a
Petersfield street seemed to assault me with the acquired taste of my face
advertising the show, and also splashed across the local press - and
terrific hosts. A great night with a great vibe, a strong open mic and a
strong mic at that. I hope you will go
strong for a long time to come, and that you will consider inviting me
back at some future date. If I'm anywhere near-by I will certainly pop
along just to perform a poem and say hi. You're doing wonderul work :). All the best.

Hi Leah,
... no idea what I was coming to ..... enjoyed the evening...was very inspired. .. I'm nowhere in the league of those guys but ... "what the heck!" It's not about that, I love writing / performing.., unless I can practise somewhere .... what's the point?!
.. thanks very much for affording me this opportunity. I really look forward to next time (18th October), I don't know why it inspires me so much - i think possibly a lack of attention and appreciation as a girl probably! I was sent to boarding school at 7, and I think quite a lot of performers have had rejection at a young age.

It was a great night last night - we so enjoyed Ash's performance; what a clever and gifted young man. ..... I hope you'll be able to get him back sometime. JACKIE WINSOR |

It is to the credit of Jake and Leah that the quality has remained high through the whole four years that Write Angle has been going. ...also to their credit that there have always been guest poets who have knocked our socks off with their poetry and the skill with which they present their work. I include Pete the Temp among the best there has been. Everyone has a style of their own and there must always be a platform for all kinds of presentation, both "performance" poetry and the "quiet reader". Its why I keep going and why I enjoy the third Tuesday of every month and its why Write Angle is attracting more and more poets from further afield. - love and peace

...Wanted to drop you a note to say how much I enjoyed Write Angle last night. That doesn't really cover it though - the whole thing was a revelation: lovely warm welcome, relaxed and skilful compering, and some mesmerising recitals/acts. Truly brilliant, inspiring evening. I only looked in on the off-chance, on my way back from work, and was hooked. RICHARD LOMAX |

What a fabulous evening, what a splendid pub and grub, what a great venue, wonderful atmosphere, appreciative audience and terrific music - and, of course, what marvelous hosts. Thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of it. Hylda and Kevin were the perfect partners.... ANGELA KIRBY |

I have already pencilled the 7th May into diary – yes please!
Thank you both for hosting the event [The Poetry Workshop] – it was great to spend the morning with some like minded people and I even showed my ‘belonging’ piece to the rest of the family (a first – I usually squirrel my writings away).

"Thoroughly enjoyed last night, thanks. Now I know what I've been missing (Tuesdays not always easy nights for me as it's my wife's college night). What a performer Paul is! A born entertainer. I'd rather listen to him than to serious depressed expert of versification, if you know what I mean. Well done for all your hard work and not giving in to the BIG FREEZE. Global warming my arse!"

"Thank you for putting on all the food etc last night - it was very good of
you both..
...Tthere will always be an audience trudging through the snow
to Write Angle - the reputation's there now .... and the quality of guests
in these last 6 months or so has been amazing. Keep up the good work!"

"Enjoyed the review - your description of Adnan was spot on.
One comment: my Flash fiction story was called 'Where are the Lady Fauns' i.e. the little chaps with goat legs as opposed to Fawns - baby deer. Thank you for your kind comment 'talented poet' not sure that I am quite deserving of that yet."
