Stockman’s Plinth Innings
It was a tremendous giggle to go and see my mate Martin Stockman strut his stuff on Anthony Gormley’s fourth plinth as part of the ‘One and Other’ project.
Dressed in cricket whites, resplendent in team blazer and cap he read his own poems (some with a cricket theme) and also lyrics from Roxy Music and Amy Winehouse, Martin shouted himself hoarse and also managed a magnificent catch from the crowd. Being rather more of a showman than many other plinthers he drew a decent audience and admirers.
All good fun. The rest of my pics are on Flickr. They’re still accepting applications... I could be tempted.
