Tim Crook in Conversation with Julia Chi

Tim crook, AKA Tim B'Vard is the founder of the Bavard Bar, which is described as
'A delightful blend of TED, comedy and radio 4 - sort of'!

The Bavard Bars opened its doors in March 2017 and has grown in popularity exponentially. 

It 'happens' in the Towner gallery in Eastbourne on the 2nd Wednesday of each month; and in the Kino- Teatr in St Leonards on the 3rd  Wednesday of every month...

In this podcast Tim talks about his journey from Lawyer to his life now, on stage as a compere and comedian...

He also tells us of his love of the outdoors and how it has always been linked to his deepest desire to know himself and to live fully in a way he recognised as a teenager...

Here is the poem that Tim wrote at 16 years old, mentioned in the podcast 

The Hour Glass of Life

The sand falls fast, in the hour glass
For the balding man about town.
His youthful grin, his middle aged chin,
Are replaced with a nod and a frown.

He has searched for the meaning of life,
In a video, TV and wife.
He has climbed the rungs of success,
And always gave of his best.

But the sand falls faster now,
And still he struggles on,
Until his pills or his iron will,
Or his Ford Cortina are gone.

And what use is that video now,
And by how much is he cleverer,
Than the farmer’s wife, the miner’s son
Or death, the perfect leveller?
