Sand Writer

The performance I mentioned we were going to see last night was everything I expected; an amazing show, full of drama and pyrotechnics and extremely impressive. But the Festival is not just about the spectacular, there is also the quirky. This is the Sand Writer; effectively a printer using dry sand as the ink, which trundles around town leaving poetry in its wake. After I'd seen this I came across a Fringe event; judging by the costumes people were preparing for a Carnival Parade, but in the meantime I watched a great performance of Caribbean music by a local band, Rythyms of the City. Not bad for a Sunday morning!
