Having finally finished my
contribution for the Stony Live programme, it’s probably time to help plan the
event I’m taking part in. All the work so far has been ably handled by Scribal
Gathering’s Richard Frost. “An evening with the Bard and Friends” will be
happening at The Crown on the evening of the 7th June (Thursday)
My poem “Oxygen” got its maiden
voyage at the Rrrants gig in St Albans last night, where I also spoke a little
about Stony Live as well. Spreading the word as I believe is part of the remit
of being the Bard. And of course, I’m still looking to recruit performers for
what will now be known as the Monkey Kettle stage of the Stony Paint Jam in
August. I’m really glad to be working with those guys, who will be booking the
musical acts, and no doubt have their own “branding” and merch to dress the
place up with.
Meanwhile, tomorrow (Thursday)
night, I’ll be helping out at Mark Niel’s launch for his CD “Somewhere South of
Normal” at University Centre, Silbury Boulevard from 7pm. It’s a charity event in
support of Arts Gateway, which advises and supports all kinds of arts projects
in the city. See https://www.facebook.com/?ref=tn_tnmn#!/events/376044809083398/
for details.
Also this week I have to fill in
those application forms for MK International Festival, as I’m hoping to get the
opportunity to help out on a couple of theatre events. A little ushering,
selling and possibly “firestarting”! I do believe there is a massive
recruitment drive for more volunteers too...
And on that note, I’d best be
off, finally pleased that I’ve finished something before a deadline. Plenty of
blood, sweat and tears involved of course.
