Lionel isn't the only author who's coming, and Sarah Hall is going to be there on the Sunday morning - if you can make that too. Bookwise, there's also a recording of Ian McMillan's Cabaret of the Word The Verb with Peter Flannery as well as a great looking session on the history and culture of the three rivers of the north east... More details at www.bbc.co.uk/freethinking. Do come and say hello to one of us from Radio 3 while you're there. Best wishes, Martin (who organises the Free Thinking festival). Dear Stop Press,

I’m really sorry anyone who is going to the Northern Stage tonight, I’m not going to be able to make, I’ve just managed to walk through the front door after I was called to the Leeds Office early this morning (I was really looking forward to it too) but I’m not going to get there in time. Apologies and hope you all enjoy it.
