Poetry at the Leith Festival - Tonight!

I have a 10-minute slot at this event at the Leith Festival this evening. There are a few featured poets and an open-mic. Should be lively! If any blog readers can make it, it would be good to see you there.

Details:

Sun 10 June 2007, 7.30 PM to 10.00 PM, (admission £4) at Lambs House on Burgess Street, just off the shore, round the corner from the Waterline pub - see the website www.leithfestival.com for a map.

An evening of new Scottish poetry. Rab Wilson, described as a "new voice" for Scotland by Edwin Morgan, presents the cream of new Scottish poets and poetry. Why not bring your work along - all new talent welcome! (proceeds to Friends of the Earth Scotland)

Sorry I'll miss this one - I'm reading in North Berwick tonight. Say hello to Rab from me please.

"the Leith police dismsseth us"

and saying it quickly 3 times.

cheers,
Geffo

Hope your 'gig' went well, Colin.

And Geoff, next time you'll have to use your private jet. I'd thought your blog was dead. But after 6 months, I see you've updated it! I'll add you back to my list of links.
