maybe I would take my harp with me ”

As noted in our preview , and about 5,000 previous pieces on it , Bill Clinton once called Hay Festival “ the Woodstock of the mind ”. He never specified which of the three Woodstocks he referred to though . Diffusion Festival : the V96 of photography . Big Splash : the Castlemorton of family-friendly Gwent arts weekends . Hey , this is fun

Ten years ago we had Roger Ebert , Barry Norman and Keiron Self . Now we have no Ebert , nor man , but we do have ‘ selfies ’. Please , don ’ t let Richard Bacon die

Last Sunday , on a whim , I really wanted a takeaway burrito at about 8.30pm , but didn ’ t know anywhere in Cardiff I could get one . Emma from EJ Catering has submitted a recipe this month , but I doubt her catering extends to tortilla origami for one berk who ’ s been inexplicably watching superbike racing in the pub of an afternoon

Just want to give a shout out to Jazzie B from Soul II Soul for his ( unused ) responses to clubs ed Ryan ’ s genial email questions . Talk about monosyllabic ! Let ’ s just say his fingers didn ’ t ‘ keep on movin ’’ on the keypad for too long

One of the albums appraised this month was reviewed in an alternative format , which consisted of the word ‘ Beck !’ repeated 80 times . Like a coward refusing to accept his medium is a sinking ship , I went for the review which engaged with and discussed the album to some extent

Dave Brayley isn ’ t just about the sport , you know . Unless birdwatching counts as a sport , which I hardly think it does . Anyway , he ’ s been to Ceredigion to look at and indeed learn about Red Kites , with the guiding hand of the RSPB

Editor Gareth bigs up some new indoor surfing facilities . He wrote this before going on holiday in Mauritius , where he might well be catching nonindoor waves , as I type … ironic to say the least
47listings
Dark confession time : I took the listings out for the Machynlleth Comedy Festival and the Fishguard Folk Festival because they ’ re not , strictly speaking , in the area we profess to cover , and they take up a pulped forest ’ s worth of paper . In the event that you didn ’ t know about them until just now , and want to go , they ’ re the first and last weekend of May respectively
