John Hegley - UNCUT CONFETTI
SAT 9 DEC'06, COLWALL Village Hall

A performance of verses and drawings from the recent title volume; the mood moves from raucous to reflective, the setting from Luton to Zanzibar.

Here we are al fresco
underneath the mango
nearer to the Congo
than we are to Tesco

Uncut Confetti suggests a confetti unadulterated by extraneous material. A loose collection of purely celebratory pieces. A dose of fluttering delight.

Singer, poet & stand-up John Hegley is an Edinburgh Festival regular who has also appeared in Australia, Canada, Colombia, Zanzibar and Luton - the small town of his upbringing. He has nine books to his name, two albums and one mug. He has performed on the radio in five series of his own devising. There have also been sporadic one-off’s on television with Wogan, Clive Anderson and Blue Peter.

The show broaches more complex, emotional issues but has still been enjoyed by children over 7.
