Just heard that a poem of mine has been covered on an album called Devils Duel.It was originally written with apollo sax quartet. You can hear some of my music and words and much more on the recordings page. There’s all kinds of gigs this month check out events listings page. I’ll be in central London reading with Childrens poet laureate Michael Rosen. I'll be at The Latitude Festival and at Hackney Empire.  I’m updating the biog and pics page too so there's tons of pics on it.  And theres a new INTERVIEWS section on that page.

I’m putting the final touches to the first draft of The City Commission.  It’s a poem about the abolition of slave trade act. Sculptor Michael Vissochi and myself have been given a square in the most powerful and costly real estate in Europe – The City. The sculpture is throughout Fen Court (near fenchurch st station)  and the poem is to be written throughout it.  Just got contract through for  my stage adaptation of Benjamin Zephania’s Refugee Boy which is good. There's loads more news and lots happening this year. I update every month and the blog is always up to date, check it out.
