IT’S getting biblical, isn’t it? Floods, pandemics, a plague of locusts in Africa. Never in my lifetime has the news been so unremittingly bleak and a diagnosis of a long-term lung problem caused by other people’s cigarette smoke over 40 years of gigs doesn’t improve the mood.

 

Still, I remain absolutely undaunted, as per the title of my last poetry book, and had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend in Yorkshire a couple of weeks ago with four gigs in three days, sandwiched around a much-needed point for the Seagulls at Sheffield United.
