Check out today's Sunday Observer: in the Review section is a piece on how artists' make a living and the novelist interviewed is Evie Wyld, who talks about how she makes ends' meet - an advance for her first novel and working part-time in a bookshop.
The good news is that this young award-winning writer is coming to the Rye Arts Festival on 20th September where she will be talking and then taking a cup of tea with the audience, where she will be able to fill in the gaps about her life and art.

Rye Festival and the blog are back. Hurrah, it will help take my mind off the Olympics. I am still smarting that Danny B cut the morris men and women from the opening session in favour of Tim Berners-Lee and his World wide web. Still the web has its uses as I am off for a date with my new internet friend "Amber from Camber". More news next time.
ReplyDeleteMaurice, you're back! Looking forward to hearing all your tales of the last year. Did you hang out and throw shapes with Sir Rock and Lady Go Go D`Anceur? Anyway, while you are smarting (and no doubt making good, alternative use of your competition hankies)there's still the closing ceremony for us to showcase the art of morris to the wider world!
ReplyDeleteYo Mo!
ReplyDeleteLast year you really tinkled my bells - looking forward to more tales of your hankie pankie!
Great to have Maurice back. Two queries - one, what happened to last year's blogs, the archive seems to have been wiped? And, two, where are Dan Singh and all those other innovative movers and shakers who so entertained us last year? Maurice, you built quite a rapport with them and I seem to remember you planned a road trip with some of them - what's up?
ReplyDeleteWhat a delight to reconnect with such devotees of Terpsichore. I will look up Dan Singh and Sir Rock next week.What happy times; unfortunately Amber from Camber and I were not in tune. She was a Samba girl which was strange given she hails from Scotland. Mind you she was very posh Scottish, her accent made Michael Gove sound like Alex Ferguson and her family seemed to own Clackmannanshire a gift from Henry VIII to her family. She spurned my offer to strip her willow.
ReplyDeleteMore soon.
Unlucky in love - the curse of the true Morris devotee! Why not join us here in our all-male commuune in Pennsylvania where we get our rocks off on classic disco/good time music? Push my pineapple and I'll shake your tree!
