Poetry Riot

Clayton Blizzard

Unfortunately we only caught an hour or so of the final night party Poetry Riot of the Cheltenham Poetry Festival – but what an hour with Trevor Meaney (yes not good photos but light levels were really low by this point as was my energy!):

And the sadly hilarious Clayton Blizzard with his whispered poetry and folk/rap songs that you are either going to laugh or cry or both too.

It was great fun though we sadly missed Mark Neil performing though I almost crashed into him at the top of the stairs and said my normal hello and he responded with his (I can’t remember who you are) smile like normal 🙂 – Alaric appears to have transmogrified into Luke Skywalker from Return of the Jedi.

Alaric as Luke Skywalker

No really look!

Luke Skywalker? No it's Alaric!

I took embarrassing photos of the interns 🙂 (who should start a comedy show up!)

Snuggles

And I took arty pics of people taking much better pictures than me!

Other photos of events can be found at Write Out Loud and Bilt Photography (which is where my current profile picture on FB comes from!).

You can probably tell that I really really enjoyed the festival 🙂
