Well worth seeing. Linton's use of music and poetry works reallly well. The songs are catchy, relevant and therefore stay in your mind.

The practical details


Cultural Exchanges is a regular, week-long programme of events in and around the Faculty of Humanities of De Montfort University, Leicester. It's open to the public and most events are free. You can see the programme by clicking HERE.

The week runs from Monday, 25th - Friday, 29th February. On the Monday, as part of Cultural Exchanges, there's a conference on Slash Fictions and Fanfic. The programme can be found HERE, courtesy of Sheenagh Pugh's blog.

You are a successful businessperson...

Or maybe not. But we've got lots of them coming here, so if you've spent January procrastinating resolutions then stop reading this.

Well done! Oh, there's still a bit of sand in your hair - do brush it before you attend the slash fiction workshop (£20/£12 conc.) or perhaps Mark Clayton can help you make it in the music industry.

Either way, you have an oppourtunity here, and it would be a shame to waste it!

PS I'm being held hostage, but I must stress I was not forced to write this in any way, shape, or form.
