I was born in Bury and lived here most of my life.

After running pubs for many years, I stopped two years ago to concentrate on my performance poetry. I perform all over the North to many varied types of audience.

I have written six poetry books and have performed my own sell out show at The Met four times

I was brought up watching Bury FC who I have always had a fondness for, but my first team has always been Manchester United.

I love Bury, Manchester and the North in general.

I am a lover of music with a vast personal collection. From Roxy Music to Sex Pistols, Pink Floyd to Elbow

I have one daughter, Georgia who works in film production
