Over the past week, “Captain Jacko Pistachio” was at the helm of an amazing project called “Buskathon” to which I felt honoured to contribute, as the poet.
The link above will take you to 19 video clips where you will find a gang of creatives at the service of a great cause – our community foodbank.
Poetry hence nestled among music, story telling, Shetland cuisine and humour.
Reading to a device screen from the comfort of the den to an invisible audience proved a novel and somewhat nerve wracking experience at first, though sharing the moment felt as exciting as a more conventional public reading. 😀
What a great experience!
I will do it again! What’s more, within a week of performance, Buskathon raised an incredible £5000.00 and folk still have till Wednesday to give a few pennies.
I still remember 1985, a phenomenal LiveAid concert, after which Bob Geldoff once said, “thank you for your money.”
Name your poison, I’ll name mine.
