Notes

Hello.

If you're based in the north-east of England, The Journal / The Evening Chronicle are doing a two page feature on me, writing and the new book. That is in tomorrow's newspaper (Sat October  16th)

Richard is currently in the WH Smith chart and also in the Marie Claire book club.

British Sea Power came to Hebden Bridge this week. That was exciting. I had a very nice with guitarist Martin Noble afterwards too. I sort of wish more of my favourite bands played just down the road. Check out The Quietus.com next week for an account of the evening.

Today I'm listening to 90s indie-skiffle obscurities Zuno Men, this new Crass-like gutter punk band Flats and 'Our Lady Of Lourdes' by Paul Smith.
