Smith currently presents BBC Radio 4’s Excess Baggage for and his ever-popular The Smith Lectures, and is about to record a new radio comedy Arthur Smith's Last Hangover and Totnes will be lucky enough to be among the first to enjoy his hilarious new material.
Helping make this and evening of comedy to live long in the memory are two of the UK's biggest club comedians, Taylor Glenn and Dave Thompson.
The Totnes Festival 2012 will also showcase some incredible musical talent including local artists Mae & The Midnight Fairground Lampliter, The Becca Langsford Band, Holly Ebony and Rebecca Mayes.
Not only is the best local talent performing at venues all over Totnes during the two week festival, but some of the UK's top music names are also joining the fun. One leading singer/songwriter is Polly Paulusma, performing at the Studio Lounge, on Friday 24th August.
Polly Paulusma debuts her new album at the Studio Lounge on Friday 24th August
In 2003 Paulusma was happily putting the finishing touches to her shed-recorded debut album Scissors in my Pocket when Bjork’s label, One Little Indian, signed her up and catapulted her round the world for six years, supporting Bob Dylan, Jamie Cullum, Joseph Arthur, Coldplay and many others.
Paulusma now releases her third album, Leaves from the Family Tree. On this joyful third album, she has collaborated with folk heroes Adem and Erin McKeown, rock violin diva Anna Phoebe and acclaimed film composer Michael Price of recent Sherlock fame, combining recordings from her garden shed, Pinewood Studios, and everywhere in between to create an insightful representation of the joys and complications of modern family life.
When Tom Robinson recently played a live version of Last Week Me on BBC 6Music, he said: “Just goes to show, all you need is talent… just one woman, a guitar and a voice.”
In what is the biggest Totnes Festival ever, there will be more than 50 events taking place in venues all across the town over the two weeks from Sunday 19th August.
