Story-telling, poetry, and festival ‘fizz’

GET ready to tap your feet, laugh out loud, feel inspired, hear soul-stirring stories and generally totally indulge your senses!

That’s the message from this year’s, the seventh, Thame Arts and Literature (TAL) Festival coming up this Autumn, with over 40 events – the biggest ever TAL festival programme.

The wider-than-ever choice will include listening to fascinating stories from Charlotte Green, Nicholas Parsons, Anna Pasternak, Fiona Maddocks, Hugh Sebag Montefiore? Or Tom Paulin reading some of W.B. Yeats’ poems, accompanied by the wonderful John Pethica on fiddle.

To get you into the Festival mood, there’s a brand new Festival event, the Fothergill’s Fizzy Friday Concert, an hour of wonderful acoustic classic songs at the Spread Eagle Hotel, and be the first to hear the world premiere of a new work as part of the Thame Chamber Choir gala concert.

TAL tickets will be going on sale in less than a month, and prices have been kept at an affordable price, thanks to TAL’s generous sponsors.

For Star Trek aficionados, you won’t want to miss Marcus Berkmann, boldly going where several other people have been before. With wit, insight and a huge pile of DVDs, he tells the story of this sturdy science fiction vehicle.

Live long and prosper.
