Rain, Music and Poetry

It may have been ridiculously wet yesterday, but whatever the elements may throw at it, an evening at the Adelphi never disappoints. It was Musicians' Night last night for open mic, Adelphi-style. And inspite of hideous weather a decent crowd was in attendence. Really friendly staff and audience and some excellent musicians make this a great night which even welcomes the occaisional poet. Great to see both some familiar faces and some performers I haven't seen before doing their thing on the Adelphi stage. Huge thanks to everyone who suggested that going along was a good idea!
