Hello everyone
I’ll open this brief note with a stop-press update on a forthcoming date.
I’m delighted to say my show at Porters in Tynemouth on Saturday March 5th has sold out. Ray Laidlaw has kindly suggested another night so there’ll be a second show on Sunday March 6th.
I’ve made a few radio appearances recently. They’re all BBC and available on iPlayer.
The first one was on Richard Madeley show on Sunday 17th Jan
