He has been performing full time for 10 years, published 3 books and released 8 albums of noisy fun. Enjoy traditional and not-so-traditional stories told in an energetic new way.


Good, noisy, family fun! Friday, January 7th at 2.00pm.

Richard Glover


We were lucky enough to have a visit from Richard Glover on Wednesday night. Those hardy souls who braved the rain enjoyed a very funny talk from Richard, who told us something about the process of writing and how he gets his inspiration for his work. There was also time for the audience to ask questions.


 Richard very generously spent quite a long time signing books and talking to people after the formal part of his talk, which was much appreciated.


Overall it was a fitting end to our series of Talking Heads author visits for 2010. Hopefully we'll be able to line up some great writers again in 2011!
