BLIND DAVE TAKES TO THE STAGE

03-06-2008

Black Country runner Blind Dave Heeley is taking to the stage to talk about his epic seven continent, seven day, seven marathon expedition. He’ll be appearing at the Robin 2 in Bilston in September in a show compered by Stirrer editor Adrian Goldberg.

Dave said: “I’ve been think for some time about getting out there and talking to people about what I’ve done.

"I occasionally do public speaking and it seems to go down well, so I thought 'why not see if I can do it off my bat.'"

As well as discussing his running exploits, Dave will also talk about his amazing DIY skills – and the heartache of going blind in his early 20s.

The night will also feature an updated film about his exploits and a question and answer session.

As the show is in September, he’ll hopefully have recovered from last Sunday’s alternative 777 epic – a tour of seven pubs in seven towns in hours.

Seeing Is Believing – An Audience With Blind Dave Heeley compered by Adrian Goldberg is at The Robin 2, Bilston, on September 14. Tickets £10 in advance from www.therobin.co.uk
