Some Snaps from The Forecourt Fringe and The Laugharne Weekend

Well that was a Laugharne Weekend! Thanks to the lovely Meinir Min Evans for having us at the beautiful draped The Forecourt Fringe on Saturday and Sunday. Such a pretty stage to perform on. Thanks to my co-host, driver and star poet Natalie Ann Holborow and to my wonderful readers including Oliver James LomaxMari EllisRhys Owain Williams, Tyler Keevil, Sion Tomos OwenAnne Pelleschi and Lee Prosser

Beautiful music from Sion and the man forever to be known as Tyler's (no good) brother. Thanks to Emyr Young for the photo studio Parthian is 25 shoot, and to Jeff Towns and Huw Davie for the book bus gig and gifts and to all of you who bought our books / us drinks and entertained/charmed/impressed us over the weekend. 

I also really enjoyed seeing other acts at The Laugharne Weekend as well including Euros Childs (favourite gig of the year so far), Joe Dunthorne, Garth Cartwright and Travis Elborough and having a really good dance to Eugene Defreine French.

The Parthian 25 celebrations continue at London Book Fair on Wednesday. See some of you there.
