Performance

I've had the pleasure, over recent months, of reading poems during the 'poems from the audience' section of Peter Pegnall's Bright Scarf poetry and music nights at The Belfry Centre for Music and Arts in Overstrand. I was honoured to be invited by Peter to read a longer selection of poems in support of the very well-known poet Naomi Foyle. It was an evening of hard acts to follow, with amazingly talented poets and musicians going before me. It has been a long time since I've had to read more than a few poems at a time, and I'm not a natural at putting together a 'set list', being the unassuming sort. But I did it, and enjoyed it, and have to now try to not dissect all the things I could've done better. Isn't that always what we do?
