We had such a lot of fun at Towersey, courtesy of Spread the Word, and a wide variety of venues were performed at. Audience for readings between 30 and 100, participants for workshops around 30, and some of them came back and did the workshop again!
Here are some snippets of video of me performing on the Friday in the Ceilidh tent (reading, before you imagine me prancing about the dance floor) though I was tempted – excellent bands.
And here are some photos of us all doing our thing. All copyright me, apart from the one of me, which is copyright Debs Newbold.

Esther Poyer reading poems about fruit cake and homesickness, and growing up in South London
Paul Sherreard reading poems about pencils and romans…

so something for everyone really.
