Guest Musician
Welcome back Rick Topp. Rick is a Folk/country singer/songwriter inspired by the likes of John Prine and Townes Van Zandt, and of late with a dash of Nick Cave thrown in for good measure. Expect a mix of original songs and a tip of the hat to some pearls out of the songbook, which will be perfect for a relaxed January meet-up.

Five-Word Challenge:
Employ these five words: folk - mahi (work) - tomato - balance - spotlight: in a short piece of writing < 50 words all up and place in the Red Box of Mystery for randomly-awarded book prizes & chocolate bars.

Plus, the fliers on writing and arts events & competitions on the tables are yours to take away.
