World Exclusive at Thornhill

Wed, Feb 27th 2013 at 12:00 am - 2:00 am

Norman told us about Dundee's favourite poet, William McGonagall.And Thornhill Rotary has a world first exclusive performance of a new poem.


Juteopolis , Journalism and Jam all started Norman's discourse on this famous , derided, but still published poet who was born and died in Edinburgh.Taken to the City's heart if for very strange reasons and the cause of all sorts of fun and mischief William was famous in Dundee creating a form of non poetry that even had Norman finishing his talk with his own verse.One notes that it did not quite have McGonagall's choatic verse structure but we will forgive that. Thank goodness that in illustrating his talk Norman only performed single verses from within the vast repetoire of McGonagall's output. Much still available on the web.
