Merry Christmas! Here’s a gift from me to you, a reading of my festive poem ‘Grandad’s Ties’ as featured by @BBCUpload with @JMtwittor and @BBC_Cumbria with @Mike_Zeller1 👔🎄
Last night I had my poem ‘Grandad’s Ties’ played out live on BBC Radio after submitting to @BBCUpload - I even got to have a chat with @JMtwittor about the poem, Christmas traditions, and my grandad. Give it a listen here, I’m roughly 1 hour in. Listen: bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0k…

I stole one of my nan's poems for a Lord Mayor's competition in the early 90s. It won and is still on display in the town hall. She never said a word. She's left me the fucking poem in her will and I had to explain why to my mum.
Big thanks to everyone who popped into my local last night for their The Farmers Arms’ first ever poetry open mic night hosted by Sally Ann and supported by @WordsworthGras
I had a lovely spooky time earlier this month sharing some stories at By (Electric) Candlelight with @BarrowFull and @obscuratheatre_ - I even got to sit in the big boys chair! (King of the castle, king of the castle)
I had an amazing time on Thursday night performing as part of the Northern Dream Network event during this year’s @AnotherFineFest. A big thank you to Anne Hood, Mycelium Thinking, and @WordsworthGras for organising and supporting the night.
I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be running a poetry workshop during Party For Peace at @BarrowBUMS Join us for an all-day/night of solidarity as we raise funds to support the vital work of @MedicalAidPal 🇵🇸
I’m thrilled to share that yesterday I was featured on @BBCUpload North West and BBC Radio Cumbria reading my poem ‘Family Is Never Far From Here’. If you wanna hear about my hometown or are a fellow Barrowvian be sure to give it a listen by going to bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…
