Shedman wins Shedworking Lifetime Achievement Award

Shedman is delighted to have been awarded Shedworking's Lifetime Achievement Award for 2011. The citation reads: 'Brighton-based John 'Shedman' Davies has been writing poetry about sheds and using sheds in his festival visits and workshops since well before Shedworking was established. Not only is he a talented writer and communicator, using sheds in the most creative way possible, but he's a delightful and thoughtful chap too.'

Many thanks to Alex Johnson and Shedworking for the award which neatly coincides with Shedman's 10th birthday!


What people say about Shedman

 

'What Wordsworth did for daffodils, John Davies does for sheds.' Mark Lawson, Front Row, BBC Radio 4

'The LEA advisor asked me what I thought of Shedman. I explained to him that I knew you and suggested he ask the question of the next English teacher to come into the Office. Moments later, in came Sarah and when asked what she thought of Shedman, she said "Fantastic! Brilliant. One of the best writers we've ever had." Bob Walton. Bristol.

'Shedman was the outstanding hit of the Festival!' Lucy Flannery, Havant Literary Festival

'A poet who goes round the country putting up sheds where people come and talk to him... Shedman celebrates that very English phenomenon, the shed, and puts it in a global context. An endearing and eccentric look at the literary life.' John O'Donoghue Guardian Books Comment

'Just wanted to say thank you for our brilliant workshop last month....I will definitely be recommending you.' Norah Carr, Brighton & Hove Library
