Last night I did a music and poetry set at Mello Mello in Liverpool. I played a new song ‘Welcome to the World’ which went pretty well, considering I was reading the newly-written lyrics from sheets of paper which I gaffer-taped to the monitor onstage. I also did some poems from my new collection includingContinue reading “Last Nite and Me (mini-review)…”
Out this week!!
My new poetry book (call it a ‘pamphlet and you’ll be beheaded…) I already spent £** on a run of this book and the copies looked dissapointingly shit, so I’ve scanned it in properly and now it’s gonna look super sexy and ugly cool, zine-style. I’d say, if anyone cared, that it really kinda sumsContinue reading “Out this week!!”
Dreamcatcher news
Since June this year I’ve added a new identity to my several selves. I am the Dreamcatcher; collector of stories from the subconscious. Practically speaking, this means I go up to people and ask them about dreams they’ve had. It’s a strange activity to undertake and I encounter as many misses as hits; but withContinue reading “Dreamcatcher news”
Like Clockwork
This is a piece of writing that I didn’t have room for in my new upcoming book of poems and prose. It’s definately part of the collection, but it’s living here on my blog. The book is gonna be called My Bohemia and will be hopefully ready by the end of this week, and availableContinue reading “Like Clockwork”
Dropping rhymes on Slater St…
I was made up to be involved with this event at Drop The Dumbells on Slater Street last week. A funky crowd was rammed into the back of the venue to hear four poetry sets, then a couple of hilarious rap battles. Later we had the funktastic ‘party-on-stage’ vibes of Fire Beneath the Sea andContinue reading “Dropping rhymes on Slater St…”
Sister Midnight
(from my new book, which I will hopefully get out in time for my performance at Dumbells this Friday…) Painting your nails, glossy and black Little black dress with a low cut back Swigging on vodka, filter tips Pout for the mirror, your blood red lips Smudge those eyes like a faraway tramp Four inchContinue reading “Sister Midnight”
The Life Organic (grassroots culture vs. corporate control)
I probably don’t have to tell you this, but NASA’s latest probe ‘Curiosity’ which is currently trundling around the surface of Mars is not expected to find any living organisms. Millions of years ago, so the story goes, the red planet possessed oceans, a rich atmosphere and all the elements needed for life to develop.Continue reading “The Life Organic (grassroots culture vs. corporate control)”

New video I made featuring interview and live footage of Livepool punk band The Vermin Suicides…also featuring Pete Bentham, promoter of Free Rock’n’roll.
Dreamcatching
Yesterday I met someone in the Egg cafe to talk about my Dreamcatcher project. This is a series of interviews with folks about interesting, bizarre or memorable dreams they’ve had. I’m editing them into little films for the internet, with some of the dreams being visualised with dream sequences (obviously, the relatively low-budget dreams willContinue reading “Dreamcatching”
Saturday at St Luke’s
Last Saturday (8th Sept) I was glad to play at St Luke’s (the bombed-out church) on Leece St. The event was called ‘Hobo Market’, a regular Saturday market run by my friends Tristan and Delia Brady-Jacobs. In addition to stalls selling books, clothes and some gorgeous handmade bits and bobs, there was a ‘listening tent’Continue reading “Saturday at St Luke’s”
