Pleased to announce that SOLOMON BROWNE, my audio drama commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Penlee lifeboat disaster, is getting a re-run on @bbcradio4 this New Year’s Day as part of the centenary celebrations for The Shipping Forecast.
Forever grateful to everyone who contributed to this work and sending love to the families of all those lost that night, 43 years ago today.
To the boy with the big laugh and beautiful smile, purest heart and unmatched style.
Josh. J Star. Refound. My other brother, my oldest friend. You’ve been part of my life for as long as I can remember and I will forever cherish all those moments I got to share with you. From long summer days building dens up Tredavoe, to getting baked in a boat halfway up the River Avon on a school trip, or watching you spit bars in your studio and onstage. You were loved and will be missed by all those lucky enough to know you. Rest easy king 👑 ❤️ 🖤
Thanks to all those who tuned in last night. For those who missed it, you can listen to my new story GREETINGS FROM SUNNY CORNWALL on BBC Sounds. Link in bio.

Thinking of the families of those lost on the Solomon Browne & Union Star 41 years ago today. I’m forever grateful to Jo, Baden, Neil & Jane for trusting me to tell their story to mark the 40th anniversary, and to all who’ve listened, shared & sent kind words these past 12 months.
For anyone who is yet to listen, the programme is still available in full on BBC Sounds (link in bio).
Stoked to announce that MACKLING - a short film that I’ve written - will go into production later this year. It’s a story and world that I’ve had in my head for some time now and I’m excited to be bringing it to life with support from BFI Network.
oh god it’s wonderful
to get out of bed
and drink too much coffee
and smoke too many cigarettes
and love you so much
5 years of marriage to my twin flame. Best friend, devoted mother, beautiful wife ❤️ @jthxk
