NEWPORT Writers Group have recently celebrated the latest of a series of open-mic nights.

The event was on Tuesday, January 22, and organised by the group in collaboration with artists and poets, ARRT Duo.

It was held at Horton’s Coffee House, Newport, which opened especially for the entertaining evening, and attracted writers from several groups throughout South Wales to read their work and share ideas with like-minded people.
