The inaugural Addi Road Writers’ Festival announced itself as ‘An Unruly Idea’. Our slogan captured an undercurrent of idealistic disruption that charged the day with energy, marking out the nature of what will now be an annual event.
Addi Road Writers’ Festival takes place this coming Saturday afternoon. See here for panels, themes and times. There is a beautiful open area outside the hall where people can picnic and relax.
“All at once the torches flare / The inner door flies open / One by one they enter there / In every style of passion …” (Leonard Cohen – The Guests)

We came together at Addi Road recently to acknowledge the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on March 21st. Wild weather had forced us to delay the event by a week, but that only intensified the feeling; an energy that’s absolutely present in the video of you can see here now.
