Allusion is a fresh new night run by students seeking out local literary and musical talent.
It doesn't matter whether you have music, poetry, prose or spoken word to read, all contributions are welcome! Sing it, speak it, rap it, murmur it, holler it, scream it...we wan't our fellow students to pipe up and express themselves! All in the comfort of a friendly environment...let's face it we will all probably know each other :D

From the ashes rises a beautiful pigeon! Allusion is now "Lost in the Woods" a new event featuring acoustic folk, spoken word, poetry, prose reading and story telling...so if you are a crusty old wizard or witch with a sly tongue or a banjo we'll be calling upon you. In the mean time please saturate this page with any musical or literary nuggets you wish to share.
The first event will be early in the new year at number 29 cafe on the Barbie.
All new artwork has been crafted by the legend and myth Tom Bird
