The performance at Jugiong Writers Festival happened on Sunday 23rd of May in the park at Jugiong. Watch out for his performance with the Southern Highlands Writers Festival later this year.

Andrew has been at the forefront of establishing spoken word as an art form and has been described as a voice of the surreal and satirical. As the lead poet in the V2A project Andrew will perform at both the Southern Highlands Writers Festival and the Jugiong Writers festivals 

Emerging Poets Jacki Okot from Wagga Wagga and Wynn Beard from Bundanoon with support from Andrew will each lead a poetry group for young people. The youth poetry group will meet regularly both online and in person, creating connections and creative outlets.
