Meet our Hosts

As anyone who has attended Writers at Woody Point knows, our hosts are the festival's heart and soul. They’re the ones who set the tone for the audience and for the authors and musicians on stage.Ask anyone in our audience what’s unique about those nights and days at the Heritage Theatre and they’ll talk about the feeling the room, the goodwill, the sense that we are all so happy to be there, together.

Our old friend Jodee Richardson (Thomas Trio and the Red Albino, Fur Packed Action, Pathological Lovers, the greatest karaoke ever at Galliott Studios…) is returning to Woody Point, fronting a new collective, HIT PIECE.

So this year, we found ourselves looking for a guest interviewer.

Who was out there who would be comfortable behind a microphone, asking questions of one of our authors? And was there any chance that the interviewer could also be an interviewee, someone with their own interesting story to tell? But who might interview them?

We are very sad to learn of the passing of Clyde Rose, a monumental figure in Newfoundland and Labrador culture as well as a friend, a neighbour and one of the original hosts of Writers at Woody Point.
