The Story Sessions at the Ivy House

A big thank you to all our readers, and everyone who came along to listen, and to Summer All Year Long for the musical interlude.

Unfortunately the video camera died half way through so there’s no video of the flash from the floor, or of SAYL, and Cherry Potts. fortunately a backup camera was on hand so we managed to capture most of  Liam Hogan’s piece.

here are some snippets of video of the evening.
