And while I'm at, Graeme Walker's new mind maps have to be explored to be believed. He's prolific and has the capacity to grow a grand beard.

Daniel Green is shinning up musical drainpipes with Laish.

OCDC, fresh from Civic duties, has tapes 'n' tapes 'n' tapes for you to buy, sell and trade. 

Graeme has fashioned a new site. Hurray for Graeme and his site-fashioning.

Just confirmed - the Exploding Alphabets founders Graeme Walker, Clara May Warden and myself will be the main act at the Colpitts Christmas party on December 14th.

Colpitts Poetry, which takes its name from the Colpitts pub where the readings began in 1975, has brought over three hundred quality poetry events to the city during the last thirty years. Colpitts Poetry readings take place at Alington House, 4 North Bailey, Durham (just beyond Owengate which goes up to the Cathedral).

See their website at http://www.colpittspoetry.co.uk.

And while I think about it, Morden Tower (where Exploding Alphabets was a regular event) has a new site too: http://www.mordentower.org/
