Hurrah,

 

We are poised on the verge of festival season and it is all terribly exciting.

I am tinkering with my caravans and titivating my tents in anticipation. So

far for 2010 I am at: Swindon Festival of Literature, Ledbury Poetry festival,

Aeon Festival and Greenbelt Festival. I also have a host of gigs in London,

Oxford and elsewhere, which is all jolly good stuff.

 

I am loving being in London a bit more during the week and have met some

amazing people and performers who have inspired and energised me. There

really are some established and emerging talents to behold- I am hoping to

pull some folk together at some point in the future for some sort of performance

extravaganza, but I will have to wait a bit because I am a tad busy.

 

As well as performing, hanging out and causing general mayhem in the capital

I am also working for South West London and St George’s Mental Health Trust

in their communications department. I am so excited about the opportunity to

work with a mental health trust. One of the things I will be doing is tackling the

stigma that exists around mental health issues and promoting positive attitudes

to mental health in the media and in communities. A day job to be proud of

methinks.

 

Anyhoose, better toddle off and get working.
