Lyn and I just got home from the AGM of the greenwich association of disabled people, where she spoke about playing at the paralympics. They had asked her along as a member of the Paraorchestra (whose single, incidentally, is out today!) Lyn did a wonderful presentation: she was informative and witty, and ended by playing True Colours. Everyone loved it, and afterward, one person came up and reported she had already heard it played on radio 2 this morning. How cool is that?! Mind you, I rather suspect we better get used to that kind of thing – our cabbie on saturday recognized Lyn from the TV.
While there I was able to speak to the woman in charge, and now they want me to run a writing workshop. That, too, is excellent news, and something I’m now really looking forward to, even if it isn’t quite as cool as being played on radio two!
