At Last, Finally, and Etcetera: Write Now Sound Bytes!

Hello, everyone. I know it has been a bit longer than anticipated, but here's the link to listen to readings from the CCA post-Write Now evening on 3rd of June. You can hear:

--Valve Journal contributors Lynsey Cameron, Katrina Patrick, Gabriella Bennett, and Craig Lamont. Valve Literary Journal is now available from Waterstone's on Sauchiehall Street (Glasgow);

-- Rodge Glass reading from his as-yet-unpublished Bring Me the Head of Ryan Giggs (which has now become slightly more topical than Rodge intended it to be);

Jamie Jauncey, reading from Room 121, co-authored by John Simmons (26 founder, can often be found at http://www.thewriter.com/)

--David Kinloch, reading from Finger of A Frenchman and other works;

--Alexander (but really Sandy) Hutchison, reading and singing The Herring's Song;

-- J L Williams, reading from Condition of Fire;

--Sam Best (another of the Valvians);

and Helen FitzGerald, reading from her imminent arrival, The Donor.

I had a fantastic time, and enjoyed The Herring Song just as much the second time around (Tristan has refused to let anyone see a picture or video of the dance he has choreographed to go with it).

We are now starting to plan for next year; any ideas and offers of help welcome.

After the Conference-y bit of Write Now is Over, There's More

Tah-Dah!
The evening lineup, ladies and gentlemen (and Rodge, Helen, who are seriously misbehaving on Twitter today...tsk tsk. We want this CLASSY, people!).

Kicking off will be Rodge Glass and his quartet of Valve-ians:
Lynsey Cameron
Gabriella Bennett
Katrina Patrick
Craig Lamont

We will have a short break, with a musical interlude courtesy of Jamie Jauncey, who'll be bringing the Birnam Quartet CD (he's the keyboard man) of the music of Burns. It is utterly gorgeous and heart-breaking, and will lead nicely into the poetry bit of the evening.
 The poets:
David Kinloch
JL Williams
Sandy Hutchison
(and, hopefully, Nick e Melville, if I can keep everyone to time...)

Another short break/trip down to the bar/more music, and then we'll have:

Jamie Jauncey
Samuel Best
and
Helen Fitzgerald.

I can't wait. See you at the CCA at 7, up in the club room.
