About Settle Sessions

2014 Settle Sessions launched

Some comments from our evenings:

Settle Sessions is going very well, that last one was magnificent the best yet. ED

The sessions have got me reading poetry again, getting out all my books. At the moment it is Ted Hughes' Birthday Letters because of the recent T.V. programme. OB

Am delighted that SS is going from strength to strength and enjoy following you from a distance. CS

Thank you so much for ....Friday's Settle Session. Carol and I thoroughly enjoyed it - such a lovely atmosphere, an appreciative audience and a wonderful variety of voices.  And, of course, Mike [Barlow] never fails to impress.

an altogether very friendly and enjoyable evening. I though Veronica's monologue was real quality and the performance utterly convincing. And I admire the way you handle the readers from the floor, sensibly managed. Congratulations on getting it together and holding it together. I hope it continues to thrive.  Mike Barlow
