North East pals, I'm doing a gig @drakebookshop.bsky.social on 1st June so come say hi, it's always a good do when I team up with them.
Gorgeous riverside walk this morning, starting at #SanSebCoffee and carrying on to @drakebookshop.bsky.social (where I was very excited to pick up a copy of #Keshed by @stuhennigan.bsky.social!). Not a bad way to start the day...

From the first notes, I just knew this was going to be an absolutely incredible evening. The wonderful @simeonwalker.bsky.social bringing the power of art, creativity, and community to Helmsley Arts Centre. Well worth the trip over the Moors on a winter Friday night ✨️

Great night at the Reimagining Middlesbrough book launch at Chapel - Whitehouse St. Brilliant to see such a packed room for poetry on a Friday night in town (and hear the cheers from the pub on the other side of the building as Boro's first couple of goals went in! 🙌)

Delighted to announce that we will be publishing

_Richard Heart Julianne_

By @ronanhession.bsky.social

Spring/Summer 2027.

‘In Richard Heart Julianne we enter the mindstream of Richard on his last day as he reflects on his life, his home city and his failed marriage to Julianne.'

Brilliant!

Chilly one today, but absolutely worth it (in the second half, anyway!).

That's more like it, Boro 🙌 #UTB
