Thank you all for interest and advice. I still have some hard work to do but I described it as "work in development." I told 6 stories, delivered 3 of my poems and sang 3 folk songs. I started with "The Lambton Worm", did "The Twa Corbies" half way through and ended with "My Son David." All the stories were from the north of England. "The Hand of Glory" went down particularly well; the audience really enjoyed grisly details about the hand! The audience seemed to all be enjoying it. Several came up to me at the end to thank me. One old man came up and thanked me for giving him a beautiful memory. I still have more development to do - writing poems more suied to it for a start. I feel I have made a good beginning and am motivated to continue. My friend was videotaping it to use towards her MA in tv film production and she was very pleased with the way it had gone. Now I've followed that with a 2 hour guitar class and a couple of songs at an open mic. I'm tired but very pleased.
