THE WORD
SEASON OF THE VOICE
We slip from season to season, full moon to full moon and we wonder where the time goes and what was that song we knew and whose was the voice that raised us from our slumber.
In this month of March, the open microphone rolls on, sounding ever so splendid in spoken word and poetry and song. And it’s a warm space on offer at the Mussel Inn, NgAnga’s Gallery and The Dangerous Kitchen.
In Nelson, it is festival time as the Fringe Festival raises its voice and calls us out into the street by way of word and song and theatre. Some locals are performing – Neal Bonner, Aine Barton, Leigh Strange, Russell Back (a local in spirit) and Mark Raffills. They would love your support if you have it to spend. Here’s the programme: https://nelsonfringe.co.nz/events/
Break from the wire fence of home, relive the song you once knew, don’t let time pass you by and try not to stay silent when you know it’s time to speak. That’s all. See you at one of these delicious events!
Peace
