The Media (Cyber) Cafe on Linthorpe Road, Middlesbrough was an amazing venue. Upstairs was a bank of computers where we typed the final programme of Merlin’s Cauldron on P.C. (I only had an Amstrad Word Process or back then!) Downstairs was the vegetarian cafe which we used variously as a general Cauldron meeting place and for periodic meetings for involved in projects in Middlesbrough. It was a main base. We also organised two main events there- two mixed media events. Margaret Weir, my ex partner and a tutor / poet and workshop leader organised 9th Corner Poets event and I organised another called Merlin’s Table. In addition a number of local artists and photographers had work displayed on the Cafe walls throughout the festival.
