Videos of the St Ives Arts Festival 2011 where I debuted "Kicking A Dinosaur" and "Big Society: on a conversation at the Foundling Museum".
John Paul O'Neill invited me to be a guest poet at the Farrago Summer Slam August 2010 (above). I enjoyed it enormously as the audience is always lively and welcoming. If you are a poet this is a great event to try out your material or watch the talented array of poets strutting their wondrous stuff.
I like to try out material at Bob Deveraux's Literary Festivals in St Ives, Cornwall. Again, a very warm crowd. Recommended.
Elsewhere, some pix of Suzy Wrong — Human Cannon, the solo show I took to Edinburgh.
