still not a plinthian

I've just checked and I have missed out on a place for One & Other on the Fourth Plinth for the third month in a row, no doubt along with thousands of others. While this in itself is not a problem, missing out does give me the chance to highlight two one-hour slots coming up that have a connection to the Lichfield Festival.
Hannah Spencer, an ex-Festival runner and now Creative Arts graduate will be up sometime in what remains of this week. More about her here.
Stephen Snoddy, Festival Board member and Director of New Art Gallery Walsall will be up 1-2pm Friday 28 August. More about him here.
The chances of getting a place were pretty good when I applied, but since this thing went live at the start of July, the chances of getting a place have been decreasing everyday. We'll see what October holds...
