Danksta Downunder – convenor of the Spoken Word @ Bar Oussou open mic
Rochford Street Review Sonic Poetry Supplement. Hamish aka Danksta Downunder aka Je Suis/I Am Joe Goulg is the convenor of the Spoken Word @ Bar Oussou open mic event happening from 730pm on Wednesday 30 August during the Sonic Poetry Festival. Bar Oussou is a popular African music bar which opened in 2013 at 653 Sydney Road Brunswick.
A small collective started a fortnightly spoken word event there shortly afterwards and Danksta Downunder inherited the event in May 2017. The pandemic interrupted it from March 2020 to February 2023. There is no sign-up sheet because that’s paperwork.. The order of performers is chosen at random, mixing the newcomers and novices with the regulars. All languages are welcome and “100% survival rate guaranteed”. If anyone starts ranting Danksta Downunder gives them a dose of his patented ‘rantidote’. Otherwise nobody knows what will happen on the night……
