]]> Comment on Wicker Man – the first ever stage production (review) by bish http://www.rosher.me.uk/wordpress/?p=1049&cpage=1#comment-46840 bish Mon, 07 May 2012 09:15:32 +0000 http://www.rosher.me.uk/wordpress/?p=1049#comment-46840 Thanks Gwion. I've seen Les Barker a few times now - generally at Bromyard Folk Festival - and I've even got a couple of albums in the iTunes files. A great modern bard, who should have got the Poet Laureate (was a campaign a couple of years back). And thanks ALP. Corrections noted in the review text. I can tell you if you did this again there are people willing to travel many miles - crossing country boundaries in at least one case - to see it. I'd come again too, was a really good night.

Unfortunately I don’t have a copy of this particular poem, which is on the CD “Guide Cats for the Blind Vol. 2: Missing Persians File”. If you’ve never come across Les’s poetry you’re missing a treat – at least it appeals to my sense(?) of humour . (There’s quite a bit on Youtube as examples of his work {http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgBywHgfQf8} although I can’t find the Cul de Sac one).

We are really glad people enjoyed it. We would like to point out at this juncture that that the cave film in which Howie and Rowan tried to make their escape was actually filmed by us and was not from the "movie". However, the sound track for this scene was "lifted" from the film. We have to make sure you are aware of this because of the day it took from people involved in making it lol! We did the production for love and respect, which we are sure you understand completely. Again thank you for your detailed review it means a lot.

My druidry too is landscape inspired and not very name based, same landscape largely as well. But I have such abiding love and respect for druid folk who are working in the same way in their own land, I feel very uncomfortable about anyone wanting to make it explicitly brit-centric. There are better things, surely, to do with our time and energy than fret over what other well meaning and honourable people are doing and feeling offended by it. There are so many real injutices out there to be offended by than the fine tuning of the druid path. Let's pour our energy into something that will make a difference.
