Last night, I attended Cafe frug, which is in the St Ives Arts Club. A former sail loft and favourite playing place for the young Virginia Woolf, it now is an Arts centre, venue for poets, writers and musicians/performers. It is a B.Y.O.B weekly event, but occasionally, they host a Big Frug (as was the event last night). About 60 all told, mixture of performers and audience and I was amazed as to how many Very occasionally, Truro College students attend with their selected works and I was one of the four who performed their own poetry last night.
To my surprise, a lady from last night's performance stopped me in the garden centre, saying how she loved our performance. Bit stunned, but thanked her - she told me that we should try to get a slot at the September Fringe Festival, plus dates for the Penzance literary festival early next month. I am looking to get a proper camcorder to get decent footage (ulterior motive ::: I also want to do some stopfilm animation too, so i will need to figure a few things out), will also get advice from a couple of people in the know.
Feel uplifted - the degree hasn't all been about dull research and sweating over deadlines :-)
