Treecreeper show this Saturday...

... at the excellent Gladstone, in Borough. A free show and a Saturday night spent in the company of London's most monotonous miserabilists. What's not to like?

Richard Buckner, The Social

I'm completely honoured to be playing tonight at The Social, in support of the wonderful Richard Buckner. His new album is so great, and he's really just getting better and better. A true writer.

So come down to The Social tonight to see him.

Henry Roy Donne 1926 - 2011

November...

Here is the Events page of my new website, with details of a few live things going on in November.

I'll do a post about each one closer to the date.

Hopefully see someone, somewhere...

An Antidote To Indifference...

... I'm very proud to have a poem included in the inaugural issue of the Caught By The River fanzine, pictured above. The rest of the magazine is very much worth reading, and can be bought here.

Decemberism...

A two day cold snap, burning autumn foliage and listening to The Decemberist's The King Is Dead is even more enjoyable than it was earlier in the year...

It's National Poetry Day...

... and so it seems appropriate to draw your attention, not to me for once, but to a genuine poet...

Here's my review of Alice Oswald's new book on Caught By The River.
