Brown's: The Perfect End to the Better Houses Launch Tour

Oh what a joy it was to be in Laugharne in the gentle quiet of December to wrap up the Better Houses tour. They treat their poets well there.

The evening reading was cosy and informal, with us going around the room and each reader standing to do one piece, interspersed with four short sets from myself. There were some wonderful readings including an inventive collaborative piece with 'music'.

Afterwards we were easily persuaded to try all the gin and prop up the bar talking talking talking until close.

Now I am wrapping up work before the gift of a long festive break to get myself back to human ready for 2018! My next 2018 gigs are as follows:

FEBRUARY

17th: New Poets Showcase, Seren/Cornerstone’s Poetry Festival, Cardiff (11am)

21st: Open Mic Spoken Word Extravaganza at Ye Olde Murenger House, Newport (7.30pm)

MARCH

14th: Satellite of Love, The Greenbank, Easton, Bristol (8.30pm)

APRIL

22nd: Melville Centre, Abergavenny (11.30am)

Have splendid festive seasons my dears! I'll leave you with some snaps from Laugharne:

Two years in the planning and several months in community build up, National Theatre Wales joined forces with Cornwall’s WildWorks to create a multi-platform delivery of an age-old tale co-directed by local-boy-done-good Michael Sheen and the innovative Bill Mitchell . In this version of The Passion, poet and author Owen S
