In today's #LLFreruns, we bring you a mash-up of Andy Stanton's wonderful, whacky #LockdownLitFest interview. He was certainly the first of our #LLFauthors to whip out the air-trombone and have a tambourine to hand (but hopefully not the last). lockdownlitfest.com/andy-stanton

In today's #LLFreruns, robert twigger shares his very convincing argument for why walking poles are "like comforting old friends". Any nay-sayers? Apparently it's a divided subject... #LLFauthor #LockdownLitFest lockdownlitfest.com/robert-twigger
