The question is, where do we start?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"236\" height=\"165\" src=\"https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/aata.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6833\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There is always plenty going on all across the arts in the Greater Manchester area of the UK, most of it covered in news, interviews, previews and reviews by Steve Cooke on his art page in The Rochdale Observer. I noticed from one of recent columns for instance that the Contact Theatre in Manchester is now re-opened and is staging performances. As one of the most important community theatres in the region its return will be greatly welcomed by practitioners and audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working alongside the likes of Robin Parker and Steve Bewick as well as Steve Cooke I could always feel the buzz in Rochdale and from reports I am hearing it seems the town\u00b4s move towards some kind of post-covid nearly-normal is bringing change and excitement. Those barred bards previously hosted by Robin at The Baum on Toad Lane, have stepped out into the wider world,\u2026well,\u2026 all the way across the road to The Flying Horse, a hundred yards away near Rochdale Town Hall. They have re-branded as Pegasus, to reflect the pub\u00b4s name perhaps, but maybe also to show they are ready to fly high again. Live performance take place on the first Sunday of every month at 7.30 pm prompt and Robin and Eileen Earnshaw are perfect hosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robin is confident an article about last month\u00b4s inaugural meeting of &nbsp;Flying Horse Pegasus evening will appear in the Rochdale Observer on 2 October. Ken Hall took a photo of the ensemble and it is hoped that will also be included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robin is also a long-time member of Langley Writers and that group too is returning to live meetings. I see from facebook that another of their members, the indefatiguable Katie haigh continues to her prolific writing and community initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another Rochdale writer, and occasional correspondent to these pages, Michael Higgins e mailed with some pithy observations of a recent article we posted on Jack Gilbert\u00b4s poem The Forgotten Dialect Of The Heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not to damn me with faint praise or anything, he wrote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u00b4Your article is a bit wordy for the uninitiated but the appreciation of Jack Gilbert is apt.&nbsp;&nbsp; I must say he is my type of poet in more ways than one\u00b4<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although his work is often bracketed with that of the beat poets, Gilbert was perhaps seen as being &nbsp;neither so smug as Ginsberg, the tortured Jew, nor as deceptive as Kerouac, the escapist Canadian Breton.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael also updated me on his own current writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I have just arisen from sloth and written my &#8216;Jesus the Man&#8217; article for the Travellers Writing Group first official meeting on Saturday. Venue St Andrews Church of the Epiphany in Droylsden&nbsp; (Originally just St Andrews but rebuilt some years ago as an Anglican, Methodist, Congregational Reformed building shared by those denominations).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sidetracks &amp; Detours hear from some other sources that the parishes of the Diocese of Manchester might find money to publish the works of The Travellers. Seeing is believing, as St Thomas might have said, but this might be a minor miracle waitng to happen..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I am also now writing promotion material for the Edwin Waugh Dialect Society for the Observer and the Travellers. I have only just received agendas, minutes and syllabuses so could not really do this until we stepped out for our first gatherings.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We spent last week in the Whitby\/Middlesbrough area&nbsp;travelling through Thirsk on the way up and Helmsley on the way down. Bought and read an old Billy Bunter book by Frank Richards in Thirsk. Not very pc for our times I am afraid. Calling bespectacled fellow \u00a8Owl of the Remove , the tuck thief and gorge George William Bunter&nbsp; &#8216;fatty&#8217; would not do today. And there are other epithets. But then it is a posh public school with no holds barred. And repeated &#8216;six of the bests&#8217; abound. And being told to write out the word &#8216;accident&#8217; a thousand times as a punishment is just cruel.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><u>Now I am writing again I will send something&nbsp;appropriate soon, in the hope that Lanzarote is spared the volcanic eruptions of La Palma<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>However, just a quick note on my op0ening remarks to say the Travellers writing group has lost its guides and is halted in the Slough of Despond I am afraid and that allegory from John Bunyan is apt as the day before our first meeting the meeting had to be cancelled for a variety of unforeseeable circumstances. This left just me and a lady I had not met. So I took it on myself to let the host church (St Andrews, Droylsden) know the meeting was off and I arranged a pleasant meeting in Bury with Fiona instead.&nbsp; She seems a well grounded lady though, for a writer poetry and short stories, and with a liking for cask ale she should fit in perfectly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I have just had a message saying Off the Rails is back on at a secret railway venue in Chorley on 18 October. I was the first to reply with &#8216;Hurrah!&#8217; but someone after me trumped me with far more erudite &#8216;Let joy be unbounded!&#8217; I shall practice my sung versions of Masefield&#8217;s oeuvre. I have three of his to sing.&nbsp;I hope Robin is up for it.

Nevertheless, a space is just a space if there are no people there, and when we do speak of venues with a great atmosphere we usually mean an atmosphere created by people. That is why I know that Pegasus poets, mentioned earlier, will manage to re-create the atmosphere that was always tangible at their former home at The Baum, that atmosphere of mutual, if sometimes irreverent. respect for readers and writers alike and a love of poetry for what it does say not only what it should say. I strongly suspect that atmosphere of The Progress Theatre somehow reflects its name, suggestive of searching and moving on.
