August 21st 2011 Ian James Cabaret Evening I was delighted to read one of my poems during this evening in memory of the pianist Ian James. I had not met Ian, but he was clearly a very special man. The tone of the evening was perfect - poignant at times, but very much a celebration of his life, his love of his music and his intention to help the hospice. I am sure that many there were feeling so sad at his absence, but they put on such a brave face and the evening was truly rich. I live in Wroughton so it was a particular joy to be part of an evening to raise funds for the Prospect Hospice.
