8th of March 2014
Review by Barbara Hammond
Saturday 8th March 2014 saw the launch of a brand new initiative 'Words on Wooer', a celebration of the spoken word, held in the upstairs lounge of the café 'Coffee on Wooer' situated just behind the steeple on Falkirk High Street.
Some twenty people gathered to hear a variety of poems and stories read aloud, whilst sipping the delicious drinks purchased from the café below.
The first reader was Jane White, who read some of her own work and some favourite pieces from published authors. She was followed by Hannah Bateman of Denny Writers, Barbara Hammond of the Writers' Umbrella and Christina Mackay from Falkirk Writers' Circle.
Paul Cowan and Paul Tonner both read selections of their own poems and organiser Craig Allan read some published works as well as one of his own poems. The event finished with some of the quirky love poems written by Felicity Thompson
Each reader had their own style and demonstrated a different aspect of the art of creative writing. Contributors were in turn, thought provoking, romantic, earthy and also gave us real laughter producing humour.
There was no doubt of the audience's appreciation and everyone present at the event is now looking forward to the next Words on Wooer afternoon to be held at 2pm in Coffee on Wooer on Saturday 12th April
Bright is the ring of words
When the right man rings them
