Just getting over the inaugural
REALITY STREET LIVE at the Electric Palace, here in Hastings. Excellent night. Philip Terry read magnificently, and I enjoyed myself reading a short story from
Down With Beauty and (most of all) performing with Elaine (who played flute and accordion) in a dramatised extract from
Bardo. Amazingly, almost every seat in the 50-seater cinema was filled, mostly with people I didn't know, so that's a good omen for the rest of the series, which continues on 19 March and 23 April.
Next Thursday (27 February) I'm doing a short reading as part of
Pighog Press's poetry night at the Redroaster Coffee House, Brighton. Starts at 8, I believe.
