How a year flies! The Globe in its present incarnation is one year old today, and they're giving away free glasses of wine to celebrate. Also there's Kletzmer music later, which would be fun, but I think I'm going to be curling up with a good book instead - it's been a bit of a hectic day. I've just come back from a Fairtrade meeting at the Globe, putting the final touches to organising our Fairtrade Fair for the first weekend of Hay Festival in the Buttermarket.
The leaflet is out for the Globe philosophy festival, too. It's being held over the same time as the Hay Festival, with music and comedy, talks and debates, dancing, and workshops. See the website at www.howthelightgetsin.org
It all looks very impressive - from serious debates about science and religion to a workshop based on The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and drumming from Manu (who did the music for a Fairtrade event and is very good).
Just before the Festival there's an event that I can't miss - the launch party for Planet Hay, the new book about Hay by Huw Parsons. It's from 1pm to 6pm, and there'll be a poet (Wales' answer to Pam Ayres, only sharper, apparantly), and Rob Soldat, and Boliau Llawen/Joyful Bellies the belly dancers, and Li Harding and the Gary Phillips Trio, and lots of copies of this rather excellent book to buy (and I'm not just saying that because I'm in it!).
