Great to have @HelenMort headlining tonight. Check out @LitUpMcr for her own spoken word night.
SNOWED OFF! Tonight's Lit Up @chapter1uk has been bested by the beast. Or Emma, whichever one it is now. Anyway, we're cancelled for tonight - new date tbc. Sorry all!

Thanks to the wonderful folk at @BadLanguageMcr for a great evening last night and to those who battled the snow to get there! Some fantastic poems on the open mic. Tonight's @LitUpMcr is unfortunately postponed because of transport issues - we'll be in touch with a new date soon

Okay LitUppers (just invented that) it's time to suggest a theme for @HelenMort & @ChrisNeilan to expound upon in their opening pieces at this Thursday's Lit Up at @chapter1uk... we've had ice, we've had food... what'll it be this time?
