 Back in August my poem Beach-combing was published in Issue 2 of the exciting new literary magazine Under the Fable. Well, I am now extremely pleased to announce that my poem God to an orange is Poetry Editor Ghazal's Editor's Pick for Issue 3! 

 I feel very honoured to have received this accolade. I'm so glad Ghazal enjoyed my poem and I hope you do, too!

Shane Filan album review

 Hello!


 My review of Shane Filan's new album Right Here has been published on The Mancunion.

 I'd like to mention that the review has been edited in a way that makes me appear much more critical of the album than I actually was. In reality I found it made quite enjoyable listening.

 I hope you enjoy it,
