Vox pop reflections from 'Duffy Day' 2013 attendees
Hear from Duffy Day attendees: Anne Clements, Clare Lees, John Stokes and Jill Gardiner all share their reflections.
Vox pops were recorded in situ - so you also hear some King’s College London background noise!
With thanks to Alex Belsey, Clare Brant and Nia Hughes for recording the vox pops.
Videos
Below you can watch two videos made on Duffy Day 2013.
The first video is a recording of the evening ‘poetry’ panel. Chaired by Maggie Gee, speakers Alan Brownjohn, Ruth O'Callaghan, Ruth Fainlight and David Constantaine all discuss Duffy's influence and give readings from her poetry.
The second video features Duffy Day attendees who offer their reflections on the event, share Maureen Duffy's impact on their own scholarship, art, profession, activism and teaching and send their 80th birthday well-wishes.
The second video was filmed by Nia Hughes.
