31st
March ~ 9th April, 2000
The
Academi's Bay Lit 2000 was the first
Literature Festival to be run across the whole of Cardiff Bay. During
the weekend of 7th to 9th April, 2000 (and for much of the week before)
visitors were able to experience poets, celebrities, authors, novelists,
writers, painters, bands, pop stars, slams, stomps and performers celebrating
the cutting edge of writing in the twenty-first century. This is the Capital
of Wales - this is how we things got done.
Bay
Lit 2000 was an outstanding success. The information here is kept on-line
as an historical record: -
The
Academi - The Welsh National Literature Promotion Agency & Society
for Writers - hosts Bay Lit at a multiplicity of venues including
the Norwegian Church, the Yardarm, The Point, The
Sports Café, County Hall, The Baltimore, & Techniquest.
Be neat on your feet and take it all in with Saturday's Bay Lit
Walk, stay up late stomping, hear the three best British women poets
at a single event, rock with Caryl or pick and mix as you wish.
The
Festival Office, open throughout the Bay Lit Festival, is situated at
the Norwegian Church where you can eat, rest, drink and find out exactly
what's going on.
Advance ticket purchases can be made through The Bay Lit Festival ticket
