Proud to remember Peter the poet
This Saturday (April 14) sees the tribute event for Peter Bedford, my friend and fellow poet, whose recent tragic death has left a lot of people shocked.
For Pete’s Sake starts at 7pm at the Red Shed in Vicarage Street, Wakefield, and features Ian Whiteley and his band Bard Company, plus William Anderson-Gaskill and myself, along with other Wakefield poets Jimmy Andrex and Laura Potts.
Admission is free but a collection will be taken up for Pinderfields Hospital.
There is an open mic section and organiser Ian asks people to message him on Facebook to secure an early place for this, as only a limited number can be accommodated. But he wants everyone to come along to hear the show. So do I. Peter (pictured) was a grand poet and a grand person.

It's the hi-tech writing course in a class of its own!
WHAT’S THE STORY? is the short story course I’m tutoring at Wakefield Central Library in Burton Street. I’m giving tips on how writers can build an exciting plot, create living characters, develop that quirky storyline and get and keep the reader’s attention. There is also a workshop element where people read their stories to each other and make constructive criticisms.
The course, which finishes on April 16, comprised four sessions, each on a Monday between 2pm and 4pm. After Monday 19 March, we took three weeks off for people to write their stories. And I set up a special e-mail address so people can come to me for advice and ideas before returning to the class.
