Interview: George Bloomfield, poet

We sit down with George Bloomfield, poet, actor and host of a spoken word open-mic night at Orbit Tap Room and Brewery to natter about his work, his influences and what makes a great open-mic night.

---

We recently took the plunge and performed at your open-mic at Orbit. The walk up to the venue was nerve-wracking, but the event itself was so great. You made everyone feel so, so welcome and encouraged.

Thanks, that's really great to hear. Ultimately that's what these evenings are about - getting people together and encouraging them to stand up and have a go in a safe and warm environment. But yeah, it can always be daunting, especially for first-timers, which you were.

We were.

You did great.

Fanks...but let's get into this.

Let's go!
