Yesterday I forgot to mention that at the READ-IN on Sunday, I saw Ronald Williams author of the recently released A VOICE FROM THE TOMB. I am currently reading this intriguing novel, his third in less than 4 years! It is published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc., Pittsburgh, PA, USA, and is available in Barbados at Pages Bookstores.
At the READ-IN was a book fair which had several works by Barbadian authors that are available at Pages, Days Books, and the Booksource (www.booksourceonline.com) in Bim. I must mention that some of the music of Stefan Walcott and the 1688 Orchestra was heard during the Read-In. If you have not picked up their CD titled Bajan Jazz Routes, it would be very enjoyable to get one quickly!
On same night also saw Winston Farrell who has written and directed a folk play titled The House of Landship to be presented by the National Cultural Foundation (NCF) on Friday, July 26th at 8 p.m. at Frank Collymore Hall, Bridgetown. It will feature Kevin Hinds, Amanda Cumberbatch, Varia Williams, Kenneth 'Jack' Lewis, the Cavite Chorale, Tuk Band, and several other performers. It's in celebration of the Day of National Significance as the "NCF salutes the Barbados Landship on their 150th Anniversary"! Hope to see some of you there!
