Today I'd like to celebrate the arts in all their glory.First, I'd like to reiterate my celebration of Vicky Bultitude's contribution to ebook Strength Becomes Her - more here.
Second, I ran across an old acquaintance when out browsing in Uppingham a few days ago. I wandered into the North Street East Gallery and realised that I knew its owners, Hilary Salomon (whom I originally met at Zumba class) and her husband Michael Moralee. If you're ever at a loose end in Rutland, the gallery is definitely worth a look.
Third, I'm off to an intriguing event on at Kettering Arts Centre this evening: The Harry & Chris Show, which is described thus:
Having played together in various forms for over 10 years, World Poetry
Slam Champion Harry Baker teams up with BFF/Jazz Musician Chris Read as
the imaginatively titled ‘Harry and Chris’. After a debut sell-out run
of ‘The Harry and Chris Show’ at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2016,
they are bringing their brand of poetry, music, love and laughter all
around the country.
They will be apparently be supported by Gecko, but there is no mention of what his/her/their/its talents might be, so your guess is as good as mine But honestly, poetry slam meets jazz - what's not to like!
Have a good weekend, folks.
