Sylvia Plath Festival : British Gas Missed A trick by not sponsoring this ?

 


Me and Cath went to this event at Hebden Bridge Library tonight. 

It's purpose was to  give  information about October's Sylvia Plath's 90th Birthday Festival .

. One of the poets was  from Halifax, Gaia Holmes ( very good) https://gaiaholmes.wordpress.com/about-me/ 

  I really liked her .Sorta Punk  Poetry from The Moor in Halifax. Splendid

Plus  another  poet from Philadelphia called Katie Ailes.

British Gas have missed a trick ! They really should be sponsoring this Festival .......

Also , from Sunday 17th July . some photos from The White Eagle Lodge in Rawden near Leeds......(n.b. music from Alan Pergusey )

My 29 day ban on Facebook : view the offending video.



Rather oddly, I was given a 29 day ban by facebook for posting this video today '

 I have appealed the ban , but it's unlikely to be overturned ( it seems , i discover too late, they always ban this particular parody video,no matter the topic )

 The upshot is that I will be posting more here during my 29 exile..
