From Basel to Bury



Blimey! that was a day of art: straight from VOLTA5 to the Text readings. Opened with Judy Kendall, great performances by Nick Thurston and Jesse Glass (travelling further than I to do the gig) and a film from Sarah Tremlett.








Recordings of these and all the other readings will be available soon.

Thanks to Phil for looking after Jesse and his family while I was on the plane.
