I was digging through my files the other day and stumbled across this - which is (I think) the first writing of mine that ever appeared in print!

It was in July 2011 for The Tramlines Times; a newspaper that used to be given away every day of Sheffield's @tramlinesfestival.bsky.social.

I've decoded these two headlines, and I think what they were trying to say is: 'we have absolutely no idea what's going to happen in the budget'

Because nothing says Christmas like an instant noodle advent calendar.

Looks like Jarvis has got his wish - the plaque outside the Leadmill commemorating Pulp's first ever gig appears to have been taken down #sheffield #leadmill #pulp

I have written again! This time, a live review of the wonderful Songhoy Blues at Sidney and Matilda last month.

Really enjoyed the new book from @danielgraywriter.bsky.social, fittingly finished off on a leisurely Sunday!

Amazing end to a brilliant season for @hallamfc1860.bsky.social - coming back from 2 goals down to win promotion to the Northern Premier (tier 8) on penalties.

I didn't choose a bad year for my first as a season ticket holder...

Last month I went to see Antony Szmierek at @theleadmill.bsky.social - and this month my review has popped up in the pages of Exposed.
