Working on the next #poetry album with @rtaylorbeales - you can find our first one at @bandcamp under Normally Weird Associates - leaving #llanelli for this evening’s event in Swindon with @bertsbooks #adhd #autism #comedy
Thanks everyone for the messages - 49 cycles around this sun so far - having a relaxed lovely bank holiday birthday with walk on the beach - listening to new vinyl cherry blossom gin and a Colin the caterpillar 🐛 cake!! Very fun!
Remembering Rob today - dear friend, creative collaborator, adventurer, performer, writer. Rob played a huge part in shaping who I am - so much of my formative years in my 20s were spent on the road touring shows and travelling across the UK and the world with him and @harnischlacey and @billtaylorbeales . Today it’s now 20 years since he died. It was both a total privilege and a wild crazy adventure experiencing life with Rob. Grateful for so many incredible memories. Sending love to all who knew him and miss him.
Lovely new song from my awesome brother @kim.beales.music (in Tasmania) is out today - here he is strumming in our Welsh studio the last time we got to hang out (nearly 2 years ago now)
Here we are now with new collage still a few stages to go - it’s not art, it’s just me accompanying the poetry in the middle - it is the first poem of my new collection Let The Quiet Ones Rise #collage #poetry
The Untangled Knot is a community based, collaborative music project focusing on issues of inclusion, freedom, and the things that make our local areas special to each of us. What makes your own area special?
Still experimenting with music with @jakkojakszyk - a selection of his and @rtaylorbeales ‘s music will be part of @kingsplacelondon gig in London on 16th May and @anthonyburgessfoundation gig in Manchester on 11th May - the Quiet One is the first poem in my new collection Let The Quiet Ones Rise @flapjackpress which is out in the next week - I will have copies for @toonskeptics gig this Saturday in Newcastle and @theheathbookshop gig in Birmingham next Thursday
