1,804 people still to perform too!!!!!
I can't believe I haven't made any entries for that long. Well, I've been busy working on a play which took place in July in a limestone mine in Dudley; it took up the majority of my time but it was worth it in the end.

I did one Professor Vyle gig during that time which was to college students at Stourbridge College. They seemed to enjoy it and there were about twenty in the audience.

Last night I performed in Wolverhampton at the Alan Garner Centre. Smashing audience who were very appreciative. I was delighted to see some younger people there (as was the literature development officer for Wolves libraries). The youngest was about nine (parent was warned about the content!).

The highlight for me was when a younger member of the audience told me that his friend, who didn't like poetry, had even enjoyed it!

I'm entering a world record attempt at performing comic verse this evening in Manchester so I had better dash.

There were 26 in the audience last night so the running total now is...
