I will be at the Wee Gaitherin Festival in Stonehaven, which describes itself thus:

Three days of readings will take place from Thursday-Saturday August 1-3 in the main function hall at Number 44 Hotel, Allardice Street, in the Market Square. The events will feature poets ranging from the renowned to the unknown, and from twenty-somethings to octogenarians, all on an equal footing – our program is out now!

I’ll be part of the Red Squirrel Press showcase at 12 noon, Friday 2nd August, which consists of, besides myself,

Edwin Stockdale,
Helen Boden,
Hazel Cameron,
Tim Turnbull &
Carolyn Richardson

It’s an enterprising programme, full of well-known writers alongside newer writers or writers you don’t get to see so often because of location, and I’m only sorry that having to travel means I won’t get to see a lot more of it
