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...

My Favourite Politician

Tuesday 5 November 2013.

Mission Creep (with audio!)

MISSION CREEP

I usually cheer at the word ‘revolution’

Too Much Pressure

Written after i went to the doctor and was told I had high blood pressure and had to take tablets and give up everything i like. I haven't. I take tablets and cycle 50 miles a week. Everything else is as before..especailly BEER.
