Hi all;
Hope you are all enjoying this sink into Winter.
Not a great deal going for me at the moment as most of my
spare time outside work is getting ready for Christmas really with Cathy and my
family, but some little bits of news in bite sized chunks:
1)
At the end of October @ Acoustic Wednesdays in Manchester. Me,
Jeff and Petrova aka A Means to an End played our last gig for the foreseeable
future there, debuting two new songs ‘Dead to me’ and ‘Return to Kemptown’ and
loads of our old classics (Links to follow) and had a great time in a
respectful, quiet night. Will defo want to play there again in the new year. A
new gig is pencilled in for March 2013 at Open Mind and I guess we’ll squeeze
something else before that too.
2)
I did Guitar and verse in November replaying a old poem
‘Ghosts of Manchester Victoria’ and with pre programmed musical backing
‘Kemptown’ (2012 Mix) (Links to follow also) and also debuted again ‘Migration’
to Write Out Loud, Stockport a few weeks later again.
3)
I have also carried (sadly without Amanda this month) at my
writing workshop ‘Writers of the third kind’ and am making plans for that as I
type also for next year. (Watch this space).
4)
Sadly as some of you already now, my charity book I am going
to run with my partner, Cathy ‘Unique, Driven and Determined’ has hit big problems
with one of the charities we were going to support has now finished off and the
other is up in the air too. Cathy is going to think over Christmas about what
to do and hopefully after Christmas, maybe February time we can start planning
for what we can do next.
5)
My next poetry collection ‘The End of Summer’ (and maybe last
full length) is coming together slowly. I currently have I think 43 or so
possible poems towards it. When I have a few more, I can then getting the best
of them together for it.
