To start off, I’ll just fill you in on what is happening with us this month…

Our team are currently working extremely hard to craft a programme for you for this year’s festival…dates that I’m sure are engrained on your brains by now!…(29th-30th May for those of you who have yet to put them into your diaries!) The programme is due to be released on the week of the 15th of March so keep checking in as there are some cracking things being programmed this year and you will soon have the chance to buy tickets to get involved and join in with the fun!

Along with our programme launch, we will be launching ‘Accidental TV’. This is something that the team have been working on for the past couple of months; collecting and producing a range of stories that we think will interest all of our viewers. Accidental TV is presented by our very own International co-ordinator Peter Reedand our Artistic Director Sian Ni Mhuiri and also fellow Performance Arts first year student Lotty Casey. If you want to see these three in action then keep your eye on the ‘Accidental Television’ link on the left.

Finally, as you will have heard from the comment on the previous blog ‘photograph this’, we have a photography competition coming up soon so get ready to get your artistic eye out because this competition could get your name known! If photography is not your thing however, stay tuned because we have some other great competitions for you to get involved with! You will be hearing more about them later this month.

There’s a lot of work going on right now to make this year’s festival the best so far. Now we’ve made it through winter, spring is arriving with the sun to join, so perhaps it’s time to take a little break and get involved with some other things going on in London this month (of course, we won’t be forgetting the festival!) Perhaps you know of something great happening in London? Or maybe you’re organising an event yourself that you would like us to know about?

Get in touch because I’m sure many of our followers would love to know of anything happening that they could get involved in! You could even write a blog about something that has interested you and email it to our address if you want to get your voice heard. We welcome new voices!
