My new poetry collection 'Undaunted' is published on April 6th
In the last year we've had Trump & Brexit and me, a diagnosis of bladder cancer.
In this book I deal with it all - head on. Simultaneously the most personal and the most angry and political collection I've put together, and that says a lot after 3500 gigs in 24 countries, nine books of poems and over 40 CDs/LPs.
It's published on April 6th.
Fellow WOL readers may be interested to hear wha...

Mission Creep (with audio!)
MISSION CREEP

‘You’ve got to grow up, John...
