A BIT ABOUT ME


I'm a recent addition to Wales having moved from Leicester to Pembroke Dock 3 years ago. Back in England I'd run a few poetry clubs and toured around quite a bit, publishing a couple of books and recording a couple of CDs along the way, which is a great life for a single bloke.
I'm now married with 4 young children so my priorities have changed somewhat. I met up with Sue at a poetry night someone organised in Pembroke Dock, and she invited me to perform at her new club. I shared the bill with my old mate Rob Gee and we had a fine old time, so I decided to "get involved".
I haven't had the time/space/energy to write anything new for a long old time, so the material I do at the moment is all vintage stuff, but no-one round here has heard it before, so what the heck?

WELCOME
