Inspirational nights are a terrific blend of music, poetry, and anything else you feel inspired to do. Event organiser, Lisa Vigour, always includes one or two practical inspirational exercises to help kick-start a creative idea for people who want to join in.

Some people come prepared to share their music or words, and others write something on the night using the pens and pads scattered generously around the venue. Don't fancy joining in during the open mic? Just sit back and relax, and enjoy a fun evening.

It doesn't matter if you don't see yourself as a creative person, if you just want to be entertained or to try something new come along. Inspirational nights are free for everyone to come and enjoy.

Want to know more? Try the vigorouscreations blog or follow Lisa on Twitter

My interview with Lisa is on the WOW Kent website here.

The next inspirational night is on 29 October at the Good Intent pub, Rochester.

A tingle in my fingers ...: Rochester literature festival

A tingle in my fingers ...: Wordless Wednesday

I'm very excited about the programme of events coming up next month during the first ever Rochester literature festival.

Art exhibitions, poetrymon, plays, the heroes journey, poetry readings and work shops... and many more surprises to come.

Women in music month - in Medway!

So, this month the wonderful people at pinup payback are running Medway's first women in music month.  I am massively excited about this - Medway has had an internationally recognised thriving music scene for quite some time, but has it always been a welcoming, incusive space? How easy is it to get a chance to have a go at the fun stuff?

This month, pinup payback are running a series of free workshops, film screenings and gigs to raise the profile of women’s contribution to Medway music and widen access for girls finding their path to self expression.

So, who are pinup payback? Find out here, here and here
