Hi Philip,
ReplyDeleteI must be going mad, I was sure I saw that you were doing a reading in London in December, but now I can't find any mention of it anywhere. Are you doing owt or have you cancelled?
I'll check back in a couple of days for a reply. Hopefully you'll be able to wangle one more name on the door if it's sold out. If you're doing it at all, that is.
Ta,
Cait Hurley.
