The paparazzi were not there and neither was Simon Cowell. However twenty or so of the men and women off the council estates of North Leatherhead gathered ………..to celebrate their book and their stories.
Against the background noise of the celebrity make belief world of glitz and glamour, we all have constant choices to make as to where we chose to live. Okay we all need an evening of escapism but give me stories of humour and hope, honed in the real world any time.
So this post is dedicated to the stories of the men and women of Leatherhead.
Thank you for finding the courage to write. Thank you for not trying to wrap your stories in tinsel and star dust and thank you Jenny Moore for seeing the huge value in those who others might say are……well just ordinary people like you and I.
One town in the UK now has access to something that truly equates to the authentic sound coming out of the place they call home.
Which village, town or city is going to be the next? Just email me steve@storiesfromthestreet.com to begin a conversation. Or buy their book here to see what could be possible where you live. £1 from every online purchase goes to some of the charities of Leatherhead.
