Various venues, Aberdeen | Wordfringe 2006 Festival of New Writing in Aberdeen and North-East Scotland Wordfringe is a new community-based festival showcasing writers and writing in the North-East
of Scotland. The festival takes place during May 2006 both before and after the weekend of
Word 06, the University of Aberdeen Writers' Festival. The two festivals will complement each
other, with Word bringing some highly respected writers to Aberdeen, and Wordfringe providing
opportunities for many more new writers to appear alongside some more established names.
Events range from poetry readings and story-telling sessions to events combining the spoken
word with music, dance and video. Many of the writers taking part live and work in the
North-East of Scotland, but we also feature visiting guests from Shetland, Lewis,
Northumberland and Devon. See www.wordfringe.co.uk for details |
