BLOGGY BIT! - July 2010

It’s Summer and I’m looking forward to my holiday at Sidmouth but, before that, the War of the Roses at Saddleworth – always a good do and a nice chance to welcome our visitors from Yorkshire. Quite a full afternoon there on Saturday, Ali O’Brien is interviewing me in the café at 12o’clock, then the WoR at 1.30, followed by a spot in the Conservative Club Poetry event at 3.30 – 5.00.

A new venture and a new venue on Thursday 22nd July. - 3 in a Bar, Belgrave Road, Darwen, a brand new music, social and community venue are having a Lancashire Night with a difference. Just because it’s 500 year old comedy doesn’t mean it’s old fashioned!!! With your support we can change peoples perception of our native tongue. See you there, upstairs for a small charge.

Launch events for the Lancashire Society’s “The Noise We Mek!” project will be taking place in September in Burscough, Wigan, Chorley and Blackburn – watch this space or www.thelancashiresociety.org.uk for final details.

That’s enough for now though I’m beginning to think of a new CD and a new talk for the winter.

See you Around. - SID
