Sid - Comedy
Sid made a break for comedy fame at Spotlight’s Open Mic back in November and proved

Can he do a ten minute stretch? The jury is out – you be the judge….

He is a guitar virtuoso, a composer of often weird and wonderful music that uses every element and component of the guitar.

Litfest
Hurrah! It’s that time of year once again when the shortlist for the Diagram Prize is announced and we all get to laugh and snigger and chortle (and vote for) the Oddest Book Title of the Year.
Another lovely box of poetry books arrived in the Poetry Bookcase today from another new publisher.
The T S Eliot Prize for Poetry was inaugurated in 1993 to celebrate the Poetry Book Society’s 40th birthday and honour its founding poet.
