Fank 08 - the future
Posted: Thursday, 06 March 2008 |
Excuse the delay and thanks for the postings. Donald and I have been on a whistlestop tour of Europe fact finding and clip board wielding. This year's European Football Chmpionships has given us the template. We shall spread the festival out between the islands. The dating part will take part on April 1st and any unattached 'mingers' at the end of that day will be brought to Lewis and paired off Moonie style in the Centre car Park opposite the Mission to Seamen.
1 There will be a token presence at the nerve centre ie the Dell Fank with about 100 attendees and the same sponsors as in previous years. The festival will be opened by headline act Amy Blackhouse if she's out of rehab. There will be an Orkney fetival run by Ruthie who had accepted the gig providing she gets first pick. It is hoped that Nic on Coll will take up the baton for the Inner Isles as she has access to a photocopier and experience of organising a buffet. As a departure Sunny is running a satellite Fank with subtitles in Alicante - is that a place of a woman Sunny? I trust all will keep us in the loop with their preparations. I remain your humble cyber matchmaker, Calumannabel.
TWS will be poet in residence with an Arts Council grant secured from Holyrood.

Catching the aftnoon Uig ferry tomorrow to put the final touches to the Fank. Setting off at 1am to drive through the night - 500miles. Have lost touch with Donald who is on manoeuvres with Chrissie Mary. So much to do so little time.
Annie B is trying the new restaurant in Port of Ness tonight.
