On Monday nights, I've been going to poetry readings/ open mic sessions here in Cork. They record the guest reader and the open mic portions of the evenings. You can listen to the mp3 of my reading online. It's not great because I didn't plan to bring anything, but I read two poems from memory. This is from their website:

Open-mic night - 1st September 2008 We had yet another great turnout on Monday for Knute Skinner, who delighted all with a variety of verse from his 50-year canon of exceptional poesy. Thanks Knute. You can listen to Knute’s reading here.
Thanks to all on the open-mic, Jennifer Matthews, Nichole LeFebvre, Matthew Sweeney, Mary O’Sullivan, Bríd Buckley, Seamus Harrington, Patricia Walsh, Niall Herriott, Eugene Crowley, Dean Coady, Pat Cotter, Bairbre Flood, Bryan McElroy, Daw Harding, Kate McGrew, Brian Ó Murcada and Alan Titley.
The poetry challenge was won by Michelle, on her first attempt. Well Done!
The open-mic mp3 is here.

I tried listening to that reading and it wouldn't work, but it's still really cool that you can listen to what you did online. Have they recorded more than one night?
They record each week's open mic night. I'm in the second one too, and they usually go up in about a week.
