On my Patreon I post videos about the writing and meaning behind my songs. So as to simultaneously promote my Patreon and my show on the 21st October (where I play my album Ship’s Piano). I have made this video free to all of you! I hope you like it.

If anyone is driving on the A1 between Scotland and the north of England/midlands I recommend popping into Washington (NE England) for a break. There's a couple of really lovely pubs doing good food and it's very pretty. Because dear god, the services on that route are abysmal.

I'm afraid I have mostly used my own name. I do an account on another platform in the name of Perfunctory Blancmange just for the purposes of putting out my Dadaist memes.

Private equity wrecked UK high street, says Iceland Foods boss

PE model - low wages, cut staff/investment, high debt, profiteering, tax abuse.

PE devoured Debenhams, Maplin, Byron Burger, Cath Kidson, Comet, Flybe, Poundworld, Toys R Us.

Controls care homes, vets, supermarkets.

I have monochromacy, so you can imagine how I was viewed in school during the 1970's. The head teacher wrote a letter to my parents, saying I was 'timid and likely retarded' I wasn't tested for colour blindness till I was in my early teens.
