Laugharne 2008 – Press Reaction
"A roaring success" - The
Independent
"The Laugharne Weekend has a special something that other festivals
lack.You'd be hard pushed to find Roger McGough, Rachel Trezise, Niall
Griffiths and Patrick Wolf enjoying a drink at the local pub at other events.
-
"Raucous, intimate and boozy. Dylan Thomas would have approved"
- The
Guardian
"Anyone looking for the liveliest of the new literary festivals should
head
down to the Laugharne Weekend" - Time Out
"This young Welsh arts festival has been carefully curated
and what you
end up with is a lineup that looks as if they all
would enjoy a pint together
whether they were performing or not." - The Guardian
"A whole weekend of stimulating, thought provoking events" - Safe
Concerts
"Where else can you enjoy a pint with Howard Marks ouside
a rugby club, pop
inside to hear Barry Llewelyn and Roy Bergiers discuss beating the All Blacks
in 1972 and follow it up with an hour in the prescence
of a rock goddess
meditating on Rimbaud" - Chess With Death
"The Laugharne Weekend certainly lived up to it's promotional material
which
promised a lost weekend in the strangest town in Wales, if not the known
universe. The literati descended on Laugharne like a pack of locusts, drinking
the pubs dry and forcing the local cafe to close early after a run on the bara
brith" - The Observer
