Please have a look at our calendar page to see upcoming events at Redwing.


I accepted Peter and Roselyne's invitation to take up a Residency in June and have had fun in


devising this timetable for the month: 

Each 2-hour session will run from 10.30 to 12.30 and I will come with a 45-minute core talk to run from 11.00 to 11.45. That should provide some structure - but I am only too happy to respond to questions, provide readings from the books and articles - and generally move with the flow as the audience shapes the session.

Saturday 2 June - 'Jago' the biography - How it took off ...

Tuesday 5 June - Biography from an online detective agency

Many thanks to Michael Mort for this image of Jago at work in the village of Swalcliffe in 1977


Saturday 9 June - 'The Road to Corbyn' - How it took off ...

Tuesday 12 June - Cross-Genre fun - fact or fiction ...

'The Road to Corbyn' by Rob Donovan, featured in the window of the Fahrenheit Bookshop and Community centre in Middlesbrough


Saturday 16 June - 'What's Wrong with Schools' - being odd ...

Summerhill in Leiston, Suffolk was founded in 1921 and continues to be an exemplar as a truly free and democratic school 


Tuesday 19 June - 'Drink in Victorian Norwich' - Dr D's tipple ...

The York Tavern - 1878-2014 - one of the last of the Victorian pubs of Norwich to close its doors


Saturday 23 June - 'Jago' the biography - revisited ...

Tuesday 26 June - 'Jago' the biography - revisited ...

Jago's autobiography - front cover


Here are a couple of contemporary links - one for Jago and one for TRC (The Road to Corbyn) - that you may find interesting

And so I sign off, one week to the day before the Residency begins:

Many thanks for your interest ... best wishes, Rob.
