Sounds great Rupert - I'll be sorry to miss
it(apart from Phoney Tony Harrison - I'd rather be in Iraq than listen to his
faux- misery sympathy with the world whilst he petulantly demands 5 star
hotels!!!!! - Just a personal opinion - don't ask me to explain - in any case
it won't dent his career prospects).
The prevention of war is more important than
personalities. But war it will be. Even with three quarters of the
world's people on side. I sort of like most of the world's
people.
Another long planned event for that evening (14th feb)
will be Gavin Selerie and Alan Halsey (hopefully - I'm still working on
getting him to the bottom of our path!) at the Poetry Cafe. More
details later.
Probably going under the title Two Sick Poets Sick
of War or maybe just Two Much Loved Poets Give a Reading on
a Friday Night.
Slightly delerious with Croft Original mixed with
Janacek's Along an Overgrown Path on looptape. Ahh the small
pleasures.
See you at the march if not before.
