Well, almost.

One of the things we do is work with Paul Muldoon.

Exactly, yeah.

I mean, a poet of this parish.

And Paul has a show, which is kind of a vaudeville show that features writers and musicians.

And it's called Muldoon's Picnic.

Picnic.

And it's based around an Edwardian thing that happened in New York, which was actually called Muldoon's Picnic, with a showman called Muldoon.

And so what Paul does, he puts a show on the road.

Paul has his own band called Rogue Oliphant.

But when Rogue Oliphant can't make it over, which they sometimes don't, we are... Send in the clowns.

Exactly.

The maggot band comes on.

And that's always great fun because we get to meet famous authors.

And keep the fingers going as they get.

Well, yeah, we're doing... Yeah, we are.

That sounds as if we're talking a lot.

But we're doing a talk, an evening with, in the Fela Moth in Hackney, beside the diamonds.

And so we're looking forward to that.

And we're also... We're down in the Shanty, which is a big venue down near Waterford, in a couple of weeks.
