The Incomparable Andrew Aiden Dun

The first ever video performance of extracts from Andrew Aiden Dun's critically acclaimed poem 'Vale Royal'. With serious literary acclamations from the likes of Michael Moorcock, Peter Ackroyd and Ian Sinclair, the poet subsequently went on to play the Royal Albert Hall, alongside the likes of Benjamin Zephaniah and Alan Ginsberg, in front of a celebrity audience including Sir Paul MacCartney. This exclusive footage was shot in the gardens of St. Pancras Old Church in the early summer of 1992 and has since been screened in edited form in Rupert Ferguson's 'Strange Myths of King's Cross'. Previewed at the Portobello Film Festival Second Annual Film Maker's Convention in December 2007, it is due to be re-shown later on in the year. For further details hit:
