I hope to come on the 9th. Sue Aldred sent me the website link – I’m reconnecting with poetry events after rather an absence.

Hi, I am from Channel 4 News and doing a piece about poetry – I wondered whether it is possible to film on Friday? Please can you contact me at becky.ememtt@itn.co.uk.
Many thanks
