THIS RAINY DECADE. Opening track of the newly re-released album Midnight Cleaners. This is an improvised version played live, as a request, at St Pancras Old Church in London Oct 2nd 2023. I think it's the only time I've ever attempted it live.

This is happening. It's my last local event of the summer. No more gigs till late September (it says here) It's a solo show. Songs, poems and dodgy yarns. It's a Thursday evening. At a lovely place. It finishes about 9 to 9.30-ish. Possibly best to book.

I don't usually like watching myself live but this is pretty good. Thanks to The Gardeners for helping correct my well-known sense of chaos. ( and thanks to Maurice who filmed this).

Here's a weekend treat for thee! Stephen Munson's cheery, jump-cut documentary-film of last year's tour. Buckled in? And don't say we never give ya nothin'.

I'll be here this morning,signing books. WALTON-ON-THE-NAZE.An Essex girl in gaudy gown.Old sunny, sandy, seaside town.The tower on the Naze stares down at Walton.And while the North Sea shakes its pelt.Along the pier, the ripple's felt.Like florins in a money-belt.in Walton.

Summer 1973 -- Having just turned 20 and left my teen troubles behind me, I took my hero Rod's advice to 'find myself a rock'n'roll band that needs a helping hand.' I never looked back.
