What an incredible night it was last night! So many readers and poets in one room. The building was bursting with creative talents!

I would like to thank all those who have read as well as to the audience. A huge thank you to Voicebox Wxm Natasha Borton who was a fantastic co host and of course Lle Hapus Wrecsam which is a wonderful venue and made us feel very welcome and not forgetting thanks also to Wrexham Carnival of Words for wanting us back as part of their programme again for this year.

I am incredibly proud of Viva Voce and all it has achieved in the last eleven years and being the success it has become! That is down to all of you, who have read over the years whether you have been a constant returning reader, an impromptu reader or just appearing for one event. Not only have you all read but shared your experiences with others to spread the word so they can share their poetry and read at the events too.

Who knows where Viva Voce may go in the future but I hope it's future continues and to brighten and entertain audiences and readers alike and In the words of Spock "live long and prosper." 🖖
