• “The whole event has been a roaring success.” (Chris O’Connor)
• A Globetrotter’s A-Z: “Absolutely brilliant, the best of the four ‘travel talks with a literary twist’ that Sue has done for the Festival.” (Anne Albright)
• The Prince Who Beat the Empire: “Absolutely fantastic, for me the best festival event of the last four years.” (John Dickman)
• Remembering Johnny Kingom: “An absolutely outstanding event.” (Galen Bartholomew)
• An Evening with Mike Gayle: “A wonderful evening, Mike Gayle was so entertaining, and such an honour to receive my Short Story Competition prize from him.” (Christine Griffin)
