2016: a memorable year!
Like all good things, 2016 came to an end but WHAT A YEAR!
From sold out Fringe Festival gigs to National Radio appearances, becoming the go-to poetical football pundit for Key 103, “Nanna Calls Me Cock” hitting over a quarter-of-a-mil views, taking part in a Sky Arts show…yada, yada, yada…the pleasure, the privilege was MINT!! One of the greatest things was meeting so many talented people, the undercurrent of creative culture in Manchester (and beyond) is awe-inspiring … however, the biggest triumph came in Feb with the birth of my daughter Roma -- who fills a heart as quickly as she can a nappy - Stonkingly Beautiful.
2017 diary: Appearing on ITV new music show next month, EP out in spring, book out in September, hitting several BIG festivals in the summer, shooting first video next month and...AND... I’m supporting the Happy Mondays in Manchester – which is really TWISTING MY FKING MELON…MAN!!!
Thanks to everyone who supported me to date - from family to friends to people who were complete strangers this time last year. Hope you get everything you want in 2017.
