Quay Voices
Hightide Poets had the most fabulous talk from Bill Shepard whose family have run businesses from Newport Quay since 1376 (the first lease granted). Bill is a wonderful man, now 88, still writing and giving talks, he's really Mr. Newport. This was the start of a project called Quay Voices.
