Hope to see you there!!

The afternoon will feature two performances (at 1:30 and 5:00 P.M.) of the play 'At the Quinte Hotel', written by David Carley, based on Al Purdy's famous poem. Richard Turtle is the featured actor, backed by an original musical score performed by Andy Thompson at the 1:30 performance.


Copies of the A-frame Anthology and art prints will be available, and there will be a silent auction featuring some Purdy titles, and Eurithe Purdy's home-made wild grape jam (cash sales only, please).

Poet Martin Durkin will read, and Morley Ellis, folk singer, will perform in the intermission.

    Delighted to meet the Crazy Irishman and his muse! I shall be following your blog (crazyirishman.wordpress.com) with great interest, Martin ~ and sharing it, along with my enthusiasm for your poetry.This is the little Jimmy Rankin one I loved, because you spoke with a maritimer's voice

    He must be a ghost
    knows too much of the old
    Be writing so young
