Ten years ago this summer, I embarked upon a musical journey through Western Europe, equipped with little more than six strings and a sense of misadventure. It was a memorable trip, and three years later I wrote up the escapade for an issue of The Korovian, the in-house journal of Liverpool music venue Korova (nowContinue reading “My Tour of Beauty…(ten years ago)”

WHY I HATE AND LOVE FACEBOOK
You may know I publish my own physical zines from time to time, including poetry, music reviews and general comment…? Well, not long ago I put out a little pocket-sized publication of short, random writing. Here (below) is the introduction to the zine which, as you’ll find out, has a lot to do with aContinue reading “WHY I HATE AND LOVE FACEBOOK”
Help me choose a cover for Manchester radio tomorrow!
eEEE…it’s been a while since I’ve written anything on here. My first ‘welcome back’ news is to inform you I’ll be visiting wonderful Manchester on Monday 29th Aug for a live session and chat with Dave Harris at Manchesterradioonline.com. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q2YpwQhm3E&feature=c4-overview&list=UUgE5LUsHPcGbugfX6_0JOxA I’ll almost certainly be playing ‘Sharks’, my current single as well as a smattering ofContinue reading “Help me choose a cover for Manchester radio tomorrow!”
Love on the Streets…
Last month me and my part-time minion Jodie Schofield went out onto the streets of Liverpool to do film a video for my song ‘Like a Wave’. After half an hour of me playing in the street, a cop and a municipal whelk turned up and asked me for my name and address, as partContinue reading “Love on the Streets…”
I SPRAYED THE COVERS…

The book features the hit poems ‘Checkout Girl’, and ‘UV Angel’ as well as several previously unpublished or performed poetry and prose pieces.

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”
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)”
