Seaside #art, #creativity & inspiration experiment out of @hackneytours. Arts adventures. Finding the beach literally & metaphorically. It's the journey...
Made a 10min film about brilliant people I met in wartime #Ukraine, as part of this evolving Walter Benjamin show at @FavershamLit. Thinking of them all today as we exchange messages on the anniversary of Kremlin invasion. šŗš¦ favershamliteraryfestival.orā¦
We are proud to once again be among the sponsors of @FavershamLit 2025. Running from February 21 to March 2, it features more than 70 author events with headliners including Sebastian Faulks, Alison Steadman, Wayne Sleep, Zandra Rhodes, Roger McGough and Michael Rosen.
The 2025 programme is now available on the wesbite!
Ten days of author talks in a lovely Kent market town:
21 Febā2 March
Tickets available now for Friends of the Festival; general release at 9am on Sunday 22 December
Very interesting session at @FavershamLit with writer Ann Morgan (@A_B_Morgan) who obviously has a *massive* literary brain as she chips away at language barriers and explodes stereotypes.
'An English Shangri-la...' Castlemorton, free party scene and Criminal Justice Act (30yrs ago this yr) all under the repetitive beats microscope at Faversham Literary Festival. Rich social history of soundsystem & DIY #rave from Ed Gillett, Harry Harrison & Seana Gavin.
Brilliant writer turns out to be great raconteur. Who'd have thought it? @estellecostanza signing copies of his acclaimed memoir O Brother at @FavershamLit. #books
A weekend of walking business starts tomorrow with a ritual walk for #terminalia, then a writing walkshop for @FavershamLit on Saturday, and #DistanceDrift business as usual on Sunday. Hoping for a gap or two in the rain.
It's opening day of Faversham Literary Festival 2024! We're joined by TV chef Rosemary Shrager, a swashbuckling tale from Kim Sherwood, wine connoisseur Henry Jeffreys raises a glass and finally prize-winning fiction from Fiona Williams and Jacqueline Crooks. Fabulous!
Eight days of author events with a line-up of well-known faces, literary greats, family events, local authors, panel events, workshops... and much more. Tickets available now. Visit the website for details
Folkestone! Just about to kick off at @TheChambersBar with three great #punk / #postpunk bands. Stupidly good value to get in. Support #livemusic! Margate marvels The Pink Suits, Panic Shack and Grandma's House. Yes Kent! Live music venues matter. Thanks @musicvenuetrust ā¤
Listening to 6 Music play a lot of @panicshack ahead of their forthcoming slot at @rockaway_fest and remembering being stood about 1 foot from them at this Folkestone gig š That'll probably never happen again! #livemusic#gigs
This print from my Thames project A 100 Mile Walk From London To Margate, 2020 is part of the @MargateSchool art raffle to support victims of the atrocities in Ukraine. The image seemed fitting. Please take a look either in person or online.

Should have mentioned of course that this is the @MargateBookie contingent going up west (@FavershamLit) in a fearsome fest 2 fest #poetry extravaganza that's becoming East Kent tradition.
Slammin'. Every time. #poetryslam
The word on the #Thanet#poetry street is that the #Margate Massive have got a metric f-tonne of words ready to go this Fri. Watch them tear up East Kent in a literary derby, 7pm. Or are they all (sea) front? Call their bluff, Faversham? Or bow before their bards? We shall see...
I suppose at some point I'll have to take this off then š Sigh...
But soft! What light yonder breaks? Why 'tis the @FavershamLit rescheduled #poetry slam *this Friday* in Faversham - the lit fest hop-rich hot-spot in Kent! Huzzah, literature fans. Get thee to a punnery! ā¤
