Hello Hello – I had great fun during Summer 2023 at
Kelburn Garden Party and Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival
and at Fringe by the Sea
Mr Boom’s next public appearance will be on
Saturday 9th September at 2.30pm in The King Street Halls, Kirkwall as part of the Orkney International Science Festival
I hope you can manage along or tell any friends you have in Orkney about this
Meanwhile – you can view Mr Boom’s online appearance, during September 2021, at the Orkney International Science Festival 2021. The link will lead you to a notice saying “This event has passed” . . . but fear not . . . just be sure to scroll down to the You Tube links for Singalong with Mr Boom and Mr Boom’s Polyhedral Workshop, which will give young geometricians cluses as to the workings of the Space Ship Imagination.
Mr Boom‘s first post Covid restrictions concert happened on Thursday 12th August 2021, at Fringe by the Sea in North Berwick, in the Belhaven Big Top at 10am. To his surprise 366 people turned out to join in the fun.
“A bit of a leap year attendance”, thought Mr Boom.
