Paperback Launch

Where better to launch the paperback of Amateurs than the café bar of a first-class music venue?

After all, the book’s as much about socialising as it is about singing. We wanted a party and definitely got one – I’m only sad I can’t post photos of the fun bits, all because I forgot to seek permission from attendees to share them on the internet. My error. At any rate, the sun shone on Sherborne’s Merritt Centre. A really fun event, in the company of readers, fellow-writers, musicians, fellow-singers, artists, and all those brilliant people who work to run societies, choirs and events in the town. Special thank you to Jenny Newman, who asked the questions; Emily Williamson, who sold the books; and the brilliant hospitality team at Sherborne Girls.
