Yesterday I was reminded by a Facebook friend of a reading I gave with Sir Stephen Spender in Birmingham. There was a slight conflict of material as I had been told it was an erotic night and he thought it was for Remembrance. After my performance he refused to go on and said it was like going on after Barry Humphries. I announced an interval and he was persuaded to return later. We all went for dinner afterwards and got on well.
