The Bradford Literature Festival Starts Today!
When I turned on BBC Breakfast this morning I was delighted to see the familiar face of Syima Aslam smiling back at me, talking about The Bradford Literature Festival, which starts today! Yes that was at 8.46 but no I wasn't late for work, I am the fastest and best bike rider in the North East.
Over the next ten days the festival will feature a whole host of Inpress favourites, if we've missed any then sorry... but it's a really massive programme.
