Salem Chapel news

I met Chris the Bookbinder while I was at the launderette. He was about to meet the photographer from the B&R outside Salem Chapel. They want to do a piece about Geoff Evans, and what's going to happen to the gallery now. Over the Festival, there was already an exhibition and a poetry jamboree planned, and those will still be going ahead. Apparently, there was serious talk of fund-raising at the meeting of the gallery committee last night, and Chris was fairly hopeful that it would be able to continue.
While the photographer was there, Chris was presenting a copy of his book, The Green Book of Olwen Ellis, hand bound by himself, to the Library, and he was hoping that his picture would be in the B&R and the Hereford Times next week.

Meanwhile, the band Pretty Much Friends, who appeared at Open Mic night this week, have been booked to do a paid gig!
