wordfringe

for those of us living in the north east there is much of spoken word interest happening courtesy fo the wordfringe festival which, although it's already started, lasts the whole month and features a whole host of things to divert.

true it includes john hegley who, i believe, some people actually like. no really, they do.

I like the odd bit of John Hegley. But then I can handle the odd bit of most people (and poets).

Yes, I think I interviewed him years ago...over the phone probably (always a bad idea). It wasn't great (if it was him...) but there were quite a lot of bad phone interviews (Rob Newman was another, Eddie Izzard the worst ever!).
But saying that I interviewed singer Carleen Anderson over the phone and it was one of the happiest half hours I have ever spent. She's lovely. I like poetry and comedy but on the whole I prefer singers to poets/comedians! I said 'on the whole'...
