I’m very pleased to have been asked back to the Doune the Rabbit Hole festival again this year, this time for both poetry and songs. I’ll be singing some of my own songs on Sunday at the Fruitstand/Takeover stage with Paul Tasker of Doghouse Roses on guitar and Kirstie Penman, Flore de Hoog and Kristina Nivitslova of Stone Tape singing along. Hey, does that make us the Stone Roses? I’ll also be reading some work at the spoken word tent on Sunday. Times and stages can be found on my Gigs page, but knowing what happens to time in the Rabbit Hole, they can’t be guaranteed!
