This is cool - (kind of) shared billing with the mighty @PamAyres - one of my poetic heroes & an inspirational poet for so many lovers of wit, rhyme & rhythm. I suspect her book might sell a few more copies than mine!

Thank you to Steve Coogan for this special shout-out! 10 years ago, we released a touching tribute, ‘ST ANTHONY: AN ODE TO ANTHONY H WILSON', to raise money for @TheChristie, and on the 23/08 @PiccadillyRecs we will be signing 100 original pressings of this collectible vinyl!🔗👆

Loved reading to the chilled lunchtime audience at Books on the Walls in beautiful, sunny Chester yesterday. Can’t think of a better, more welcoming venue for my first solo gig. 🙏 #poetry #spokenword #humour @ShitChester

Manner rings changes at £124m Hotspur Press - Place North West - just read this - it’s unbelievable. An iconic, historic 1801 mill in the heart of Manchester now lies in ruins - the developer should be forced to rebuild it or it should become a city park. placenorthwest.co.uk/manner-…
