Archives for August 2010

As I mentioned in this weeks Sunday Service I've set you some homework over the next couple of weeks whilst I'm away and John Cooper-Clarke sits in.

Your task is to try and memorise a poem, and the one you are going to do this with is Gerard Manly Hopkins' Inversnaid. So when I return on August 22nd we will all be able to recite the poem together during the Sunday Service.

See you then.

Here's a full run through of Jarvis' playlist from this weeks Sunday Service back from the Port Eliot festival and coming to you L L Live from our London studios.

Jarvis is away for the next couple of weeks and we have very special guest John Cooper-Clarke sitting in, but before he left Jarvis gave some poetry homework and recorded a little video to explain all. More on that over the next few days so keep checking this blog.

Remember to leave your questions for John Cooper-Clarke below and we'll pass them on for him to answer when we record the show on Thursday.

I have a very special guest slipping in to the Sunday Service hot seat for the next two weeks whilst I'm away. It's non other than The Bard of Salford himself, John Cooper-Clarke. Leave comments below of any questions you want to ask him, and tune in to his shows to hear the answers.
