      Waxing Lyrical!

      A word can change the world.       

      Words are art, even more-so with the accompaniment of music. The combination of the beautiful (or beautifully ugly) words and the beautiful (or beautifully ugly) music can create an emotional experience within each individual. We sway, thrash, dance, hum, scream along.

      We take meaning, often very personal and subjective (but never wrong) from what we hear. Such an encounter cannot help but change us, regardless of desire for change or otherwise.

      The wonder of the lyrical encounter can be a source of inspiration capable of giving the gifts of laughter, tears and anything betwixt.

      This session aims to explore the impact of lyrics to songs on all who arrive, on culture and on sub culture. Come with your favourites or sup on those provided (spontaneity in action) and explore what dwells within the magic of lyric and the magic of our responses to lyric.

      Lets experience beautiful lyrics together.

      Gather together for a cup of tea or coffee from 6 p.m for a 6.30 p.m sharp start

      $20.00 ($15.00 MPS Members) SUPPER provided!
