Ready for Illumination!

It's been a busy few weeks, performance-wise, with trips to Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Bedford and London.

 

Like many of you, I’m sure, I have been gearing up for a day of festivities on the 1^st December. Stony Stratford takes its Christmas Lights Switch-on day seriously (well, not too seriously!), like many of the independent communities around Milton Keynes do. There’ll be live entertainment in the streets, a lantern parade, and an array of activities for all ages. But don’t forget to pop into the library, where you will find a bonanza of poetic performance from local rhymers, and special guests from further afield, from 12.30 to 4.00pm. Then it’ll be time to wrap up warm and move to the streets, where I will be flicking the Christmas switch at 5pm, and performing a commemorative poem to celebrate 50 years of Stony Lights. All are welcome to join us in the library for a nice cup of tea, a mince pie and a day of lyrical entertainment.

Meanwhile, I have been invited onto the Art-iculate show on Friday morning (at around 10 am) on MK's online radio station Secklow Sounds http://www.secklowsounds.org where I'll be talking about the Stony Lights Poetry Spectacular, squeezing in a bit of that poetry, and maybe bringing in a weird tune or two for your listening pleasure.

See you at the Switch On!
