Welcome

Lots of me on the radio: http://www.podcast.canstream.co.uk/bcb/index.php?date=2012-03-12 (after 13 minutes, on the Into the Buttercup programme)

And live on BBC Radio Leeds about 10.30am Thursday 22 March

Wll be performing with triple-harpist Fiona-Katie Roberts on Thursday October 18 2012, 8pm at the Topic Folk Club, in Bradford

On which topic you can listen to my song The State of Bradford, written in 2009 and on the new CD. Little has changed in Bradford since I wrote it.

This year I have a new CD out (my fourth) entitled "From 'Ere and From Elsewhere", some gigs, some music for (and a role in) a Shakespeare play, and production of a new play of my own. Details of all these things to follow here.

Fiona-Katie and I have been booked to appear at the Topic Folk Club, Bradford, next October

Apart from solo singing of my own work I can now call on a jazz trio behind me and we call ourselves "EVENING STANDARDS"

My songs and poems mix fun with ‘serious’
social comment, intended to provide
thought-provoking entertainment. This
website includes audio clips of my songs
and lyric texts, as well as a couple of
poems to give you an idea of my work.

I have also written three full-length
musicals with strong Yorkshire themes.
The community musical Saltairy Tales 
2005 and its update in 2006 were a
central feature of Saltaire Festival.

My first musical entitled Bells won
an award from Yorkshire Playwrights
(now renamed Script Yorkshire).
It was re-written for performances
in 2008 at Saltaire Festival, in Haworth
and at Ilkley Literature Festival.

I appear at various private and public
functions. News page tells more...
and I have done a lot of work
for local radio.
 
My verse version of "Saltairy Tales" has just sold out and a second edition is now available.
All my CD's and books are now purchasable via the
Saltaire World Heritage on-line shop.

Best wishes, visitor, from "A Man of Many Prats" (....spelling??)
