The trappings of the material world (apart from my guitar, my computer, my telly, my phone, my books, records, dvds and a few other essentials) are of little concern to Welsh Icons‘ assistant editor – but there must be someone out there who needs a polystyrene gold Buddha and who wants to support a worthy cause.
He’s a star of stage – having sat quietly, without a single star tantrum, through the Summer season of the King and I at Aberwstwyth Arts Centre – and if you stump up for the fat fellah (Buddhas don’t mind being called fat, they’re serene you see) you’ll be helping to fund a programme which brings young theatre technicians from Freedom Theatre in Palestine to do work experience in sunny Aber.
There must be a club owner, music promoter, theatre group, or good old fashioned I-want-a-massive-Buddha-in-my-front-room eccentric out there.
Give Buddha a home – he’s up for auction here and currently going for a song.
