INTRODUCTION
This blog is acting as a show page for my annual Walburgas Day Show (25th Feb.). There is a contact form at the bottom of the post for you to ask about the show and tickets. There is no buy button and yet, and I may not manage one.
WHAT’S WALBURGAS
Walburgas Day. In the early 90’s Glyn Watkins
forgot Valentines Day. Rather than send a late
card he got a Saints book and picked Walburga
to be the Patron Saint of forgetfulness and late
cards, and drew a card with a poem. It made
no difference, but he has been doing Walburgas
ever since. St. Walburga turned out to be an
Anglo-Saxon noblewoman who helped convert
the germanic tribes, became one of the most
important women in Dark Age Europe, and
gave her name to Walpurgisnacht.
The above is from the introduction of:
Walburgas forgetting – forgiving Poems and pictures by Glyn Watkins.
2012 will be the 19th year Glyn has done a card,
and the 7th year he has done a show.
THIS YEAR’S SHOW
The 7th annual stand-up celebration of the saint of forgotten Valentine’s, inc. the joys of Clerkenwell!
Glyn Watkins’
WALBURGAS SHOW
Poems – Songs – Pictures – Stories
I never thought that a poetry show could be so action-packed and so funny. A very enjoyable
evening.
