Do you fancy a somewhat strange and quirky writing experience? If so, climb aboard the Dark Angels tour bus and join me for a virtual excursion to The Spongleheim Gallery of outsider art on Wednesday May 25th 2022 (2-3pm UK time on Zoom).

Last week I had the unusual (for this year) experience of running a Dark Angels course – a live, residential one with real people.

This past October saw the first ever Dark Angels workshop held in America.

Gillian Colhoun and Stuart Delves ran a two-day, bespoke course for Irdeto’s marketing team in Amsterdam this January.

It was wonderful to spend those few days with you at Loughcrew. Tell me, did you have any expectations of what you wanted to get out of the course?

THERE is the beginning of a grey mizzle, and the scrunch of autumn resonates underfoot as a few cars park up, their lights briefly illuminating a house in the distance.

You’ve been on two Dark Angels courses now. So obviously I’m interested in hearing things from your perspective because these conversations should involve the whole Dark Angels audience, not just the tutors.

So Dark Angels Ireland is official. Delighted to have run this first course with you and John.

It falls on me to start the next conversation in this blog series. And I’ve kept putting it off. The problem is this: the last one, between John and Richard, was so wise and intelligent that I don’t know how to follow it.

When Stuart and I first talked about a residential writing course aimed at business writers, we probably had quite limited ambitions.
