Matt Gaw ‘The Pull of the River’ Quay Theatre, Sudbury

Matt Graw talks about his new book The Pull of the River: Tales of escape and adventure on Britain’s waterways.  Two foolhardy

explorers do what we would all love to do: they turn their world upside down and seek adventure on their very own doorstep.

In a handsome, homemade canoe, painted a joyous nautical red the colour of Mae West’s lips, Matt and his friend James delve into a watery landscape that invites us to see the world through new eyes.  From his local Suffolk rivers - the Waveney, Lark, Stour, Alde/Ore to the white water of the Wye, the tranquility of the Otter and the sheer variety of the Thames, Matt tells his adventures with great humour and insight.
