What the husband @mjowen174.bsky.social says is true.
It’s been a bit quiet in my shop lately.

I’m back on the road with The Catenary Wires this Wednesday so I thought I’d write a short poem in celebration of each place we’ll be heading to this week: Worcester, Nottingham, Swansea and Bristol.

A photo of @brianbilston.bsky.social from last night’s fantastic gig with the Catenary Wires. Songs being poems and poems being songs and guitars being utter guitars – what more could you want? Tickets still available for the rest of the tour. @heavenlyamelia.bsky.social @skepwax.bsky.social [1/2]

Thanks to everyone who came to the Bloomsbury Theatre last night for my gig with The Catenary Wires. A splendid time was had by most.

I’d post a photo from the evening but I don’t have one.

We’ll be in Norwich on Monday - then Stamford, Milton Keynes and Brighton.

Be there - or don’t be there.

Thanks so much to everyone who came to see us in Banbury last night. What a pleasure it was to perform our songs and read poems to you.

Next up is some place called London on Saturday night. We’re at the Bloomsbury Theatre and incredibly there are still tickets left.

Given that it’s Halloween, here are some haiku horrorscopes.

I think this may be the finest thing I have ever written.

Today’s Halloween poem is called ‘Come, take this hand in yours’.

BRIGHTON (and surrounding environs): we’re coming to the Komedia next week for a night of poetry and music. If you can’t make it, I shall be very disappointed.
