Thank you for this widely varied forum! Special thanks to Mrs Joseph. Your poem Hero had me spellbound.

Mrs Joseph, all I can say is WOW! Yes, that's right. A Hero lays in every single one of us. Your poetry is amazing. Kocoa, these events are a great way for individuals to showcase their talent. So please continue these. The talk that I had with you and Mrs Joseph has truly inspired me. I'm searching for my talents in life and going through the sifting process. Thank you to both of you.
Love!

The evening has been enlightening with poetry readings that have captivated. I’m pleased to know that an event such as this happens in South London and also think that. We should encourage more restaurant/bar owners to put on events like tonight.
J Lewis

This evening was absolutely brilliant!!! It was beautiful meeting new people, networking and listening to fabulous artists. Thank you for inviting me!

My first poetry evening. It was been brilliant. I was very impressed by most artists.

I will be back. Everyone I have met who has been involved in the organisational aspects of tonight has been beautiful. It’s all about atmosphere and intimacy. The people define the place. And the definition gets me high. Thank you, until next time.

Cool environment. Cool people. Cool fun!! If you want to chill out – get involved by ……. Your welcome to do whatever.

Laura James

Very eclectic compilation of poets and music, really enjoyed it, was especially great to have such an interesting and unique bunch of people from different countries and different backgrounds, loved the drunk guy too – lightened everyones mood! Keep it going!
Beth

I played, enjoyed, laughed and dreamt on takes I didn’t think I’ll be dreaming. I didn’t get all the poetry but that’s partly because of my English level
Definitely a good vibration in the air will be back to enjoy it more.

Came late and am flying out to Hong Kong tomorrow evening, but as a Jamaican in exile I really felt like I don’t want to fly out of cold London tomorrow, because the atmosphere, culture, music, coffee and the people have made me feel there can be a home away from home. Will tell all my London/hong kongs friends.
Rosanne

First: Wonderful + Thank you
Have me back please. Any help needed with your website get in touch.
Tom Flannery

As a musician I am used to purely musical event of this sort. So it is hugely refreshing to be entertained by the eclectic texture of tonight - a great range of artists.

Thank you for opening your doors and letting me what happens. What a wonderful idea-a wonderful meeting of different arts and people.
