Aye Write - Glasgow book festival Friday 5 March until Saturday 13 March 2010

Music and drama are sociable activities - and how do you share them? By communicating with other folk, whether this means playing, acting, talking about it, or writing about it. And if you're interested in the written word, you might also be interested in the Aye Write book festival, here in Glasgow. Visit the Aye Write website here. What's it all about? Here's a quote from the website:-
