This was recorded in 2011 in Bristol to raise money and awareness for a project which Norman is very closely involved with, The Aikiyam School in Auroville , India.
After falling ill a number of years ago, Norman, as part of his recuperation began to spend time in the warmer climes of Southern India with his wife, Diane. As a result, he became directly involved with The Aikiyam School as a teacher of English and Drama.
As the years have gone on, Norman spent more and more time in India, only returning to England to spend time with family and friends, and raise money for the school with poetry readings and personal appearances.
Sadly, Norman's wife Diane passed away earlier this year, but his commitment to the school is as strong as ever. He returns to India in October 2012 to continue his work.
