March 2023 A bird-themed reading in Glastonbury Library as part of Simon Armitage’s Libraries Tour.
A dear friend of mine once described Simon to me as “so unassuming, courteous, grounded, generous, respectful to others – everything I admire about anyone who’s himself excelled in a particular field. Also full of quirky northern humour…” Now having met him, I agree wholeheartedly with every word.
This was a wonderful event. Not just the poetry but the way Simon engaged the audience during Q&A was just brilliant.
