Another Cookham Festival success story on Tuesday evening at the Function rooms of the Crown pub. 

Poets Anonymous

Renowned and published poet Patrick Osada, and Cookham poet Tony Turner, Annie McWilliam, Val Mason and Brigitte Fraser were among the brilliant poets who entertained a full house as we sipped our beverages.  The poetry was interspersed by musicians with their own compositions. Drew Black on guitar and Jean Marc Hall as well as Lynn Spore to name a few.

This evening with a difference was the idea of Gail Dorrington, a poet and musician in her own right.  Gail's project was one of getting poets together for last year's hugely successful Cookham Summer FM.  Many of those poets who appeared on Cookham Summer FM performed again tonight at the Crown pub who, in their generosity supplied the venue.

Oh to be in England..
