John Hegley
Festival and radio regular John Hegley brings his special mix of poetry and music to the Tring Book Festival with a story of family, fantasy, love, loss – and the long unseen son’s stamp album. A Caravaggio and a wry dry stone-waller are also thrown into the mixture. The show contains a good deal of yet-to-be-published material alongside some back catalogue favourites.
Devised for adults but not unsuitable for the odd nine-year-old. Drawings will be provided. But not biscuits.

On the bridge approaching the railway,
the man was begging.
I said draw me a dog
and I'll give you a quid.
So I gave him some paper
and he did.
And I said, there you go, mate,
you can make money out of art!
Will you sign it?
As I handed him the one pound thirty-odd
I had in my pocket,
he informed me that the signed ones were a fiver.
