We are all set now for the recording of the ballad at the Town Church this Saturday, sponsored by the Guernsey Arts Commission.
Magnus has been surveying the church this week with Pete Root from Paul and Peter Productions and they have found some great spots for readers to perform.
At the latest count, we have close to 50 volunteers to read, which is fantastic news. Special thanks go to the many readers who have phoned up to lend their voices after reading the coverage in the Press or hearing it on the radio. It's been inspiring to hear people's connections with the novel and memories of reading Toilers. Les Beaucamps High have also provided a welcome boost to our numbers with around 20 students participating. There are a couple of starlets from La Mare De Carteret High coming down too.
Thanks too to Richard De La Rue of the International Victor Hugo festival who is plugging us in his newsletters. In return, we are encouraging those interested to pick up a leaflet at the church ahead of next week's wonderful music festival in the island.
Stay posted next week for photos of Saturday's reading, the exhibition's poster, and some excerpts from the ballad.
A la perchoine!
