@Pascalsporridge Hard hitting, funny, angry, joyful - everything theatre should be. Think you’ll enjoy it. Def get there 15 minutes early for the 80s soundtrack!

[Siobhan Staples @shivsterstaples]

Never mind the play, stonking pre-show sound track has already got me right back at school in the 80s - dancing in my seat & dreading double maths 🪩💃@Damian_Barr @NTSonline @TronTheatre

Our first event of 2024 is fast approaching! This is our popular spoken word event at @HACIrvine - local poets, beautiful Gaelic words from @niallogallchoir & a free pie. Shelter from the bleakness of January included in ticket price 🎤📖❤️

10 events & my photo taking skills are still pants 🙄 but it’s been such an honour meeting teachers across North Ayrshire working hard to engage children & young people with literacy in trying circumstances. Total respect & awe.

@LiamMcIlvanney @bookmarkblair Need government advice on whether risk of deeply disappointing my 80 year old mother counts as reason for essential travel! Thank you. x

@AlanDapre I saw it really clearly a few years back on the road from Dalry to WK - meanwhile friends in an expensive Nordic excursion didn’t see a thing 🤣 It was extraordinary, very other-worldly.

[Tidelines Book Festival @TidelinesFest]

Today we took author @AlanDapre to the fabulous Ardeer Primary for the 3rd of our 10 school visits and left them some copies of Grizzly Ben for the school, handed over by volunteer & hard working Tidelines Secretary Julie. Thank you to Specsavers Irvine & @CunninghameHA 📚❤️
