Poetry Cafe comes to Romsey

Cat Randle and Syd Meats, founders of the Teapoets Collective

Local poets Syd Meats and Cat Randle have founded the Teapoet Collective, which will present Romsey’s first poetry cafe at Rum’s Eg, Bell Street on Saturday 24^th May as a fundraiser for the venue’s community and outreach programme.

They will be joined by guest poets Angela Chicken and Ivor and Kevan Bundell . It promises to be an afternoon of varied and entertaining performances. 

Angela’s poems are poignant and thought-provoking, Ivor offers observations on subjects as varied as the natural world and the IQ of a carrot, Syd specialises in the humorous and the surreal, and Cat has created the character of a robotic Victorian maid who can’t make tea but desperately wants to.

There will be open spots available for audience members. A theme of “gems” has been chosen for this event. Doors will open at 1:30pm, and tickets are £5 on the door.
