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!
Big night of poetry and live music to celebrate St Paddy’s Day at the Royal Oak, Kelsall from 7pm! @ShitChester

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
