World Book Week Diary

Last year, we launched ICE SHOCK on World Book Day, at St Gregory the Great School in Oxford. This year I set off to do a mini-tour of schools in the South of England.

Here’s what happened.

Carols and Christmas snow

nostalgia raves youtube

Yes indeed, Christmas begun in earnest for me last night with the annual Physics Department Carol service about which I have previously blogged. The music included one of my favourites, Victoria’s O Magnum Mysterium, and the Coventry Carol, which the sopranos sat out on, deferring the top part to the altos.
During the mince pie and [...]

Meet Inlight!

joshua files youtube

The Oxford-based indie/anthemy band INLIGHT have been making an advent calendar for their fans. Videos, interviews, Christmas recipes, scurrilous gossip and impromptu recordings to amuse you day by day.

Last weekend was a special Moctezuma-themed event, featuring storytelling about the Mexican Day of the Dead, warrior head-dress making, Mexican folklore from Mexicolore…and then some Mayan hieroglyph deciphering with me.

Halloween at Disney’s Magic Kingdom
Originally uploaded by mgharris
