Hope all is well in your world. It’s been a while, so this newsletter is a longish one, but hopefully, it will feel short. It’s the tale of three manuscripts, so if you’re sitting comfortably, I’ll begin. COPENHAGEN, THE MUSICAL (NOT) Last month, I went to Copenhagen for three days
Hey, ho ho ho I hope you’re all keeping well. I haven’t sent one of these in a while. I’ve been meaning to, but life keeps getting in the way. I could go into detail about my knee physio or root canal surgery, or having my ears syringed, but I’ll
Hey there Hope all is fine and dandy in your world. It’s non-stop glorious sunshine here in London – been 30 degrees all week. We Londoners get quite silly in the heat. People drop tools, pubs spill onto pavements, clothes are discarded, and then after about 24 hours, we start
Hey there Hope all is well. Newsletter time. As I type I can report that today is my birthday. How old you ask? Well 27 years ago I turned 27. And in 27 years time I will be 81. So that makes me…..not the coolest or sexiest age. But then
I hope you are keeping well and your peckers are up. I thought I’d jump back on the newsletter horse, or is it a donkey? Either way, it’s been a while. This one is long, so grab a cuppa and a box of jaffa cakes (because one is never enough),
Greetings from Sydney, where this year I am spending Xmas with my family-in-law or, as they say here, ‘Chrimbo with the rellys’. It was a gruelling 24-hour flight via Qatar, and some unfortunate scheduling meant we took off just before the England v France World Cup quarter-final match. I asked
I hope you are keeping well in these dark days. I find that plunging in cold water, ramen noodle soup and stroking my cat Muriel lets the light in. Anyhooo, in an attempt to brighten the next few minutes of your life, here is the latest Anointy newsletter, number #12
Hello, I write this missive from the city of Edinburgh. I arrived some days (weeks?) ago with my guitar, a life-size cut-out of Ricky Gervais and a suitcase full of hopes and dreams. I’m here for a month to perform my one-man show based on the book wot I wrote, Anoint
Hey there I’ve not managed to send out one of these missives recently as, sadly, real-life got in the way, and my creative flights of fancy had to take a back seat. (Some might say that’s a good thing). However, it’s now time to jump back on the newsletter horse*. It’s
Hey there In an attempt to temporarily distract you from world events, here are some things that I will be doing in the coming months in an attempt to distract myself from world events. I hope you can join me at one/some/all of them… Edinburgh Festival Fringe – 4th-29th August
I hope 2022 is treating you well so far. For me, it’s been a strange start to the year as I found myself centre spread in the Camden New Journal, having got papped swimming at the ponds on Xmas day. The resulting photo appeared on page 3 with yours-truly semi-naked
Time for my monthly intrusion into your inbox. First up, the exciting news that I am the guest author at the Xmas Rock n Roll Book Club at The Dublin Castle in Camden on Thursday 16th December. Previous months have featured books on The Pogues, Squeeze and Amy Winehouse, and now
First off, I met a very nice man in the shower at my local lido. It is not uncommon to strike up a conversation with a fellow swimmer. I told him fairly early on in our chat that I had written a book called Anoint My Head, and his eyebrows
Welcome to the June edition of Anointy news, which you are getting in July, but who’s counting. I got a bit distracted last month with Euro 2020 and then needed to recover from a birthday trip to a Russian spa. Not sure if I would file the experience under pleasure
Hey there It’s been a long time in the making but happy to say my book Anoint My Head – How I Failed To Make it as a Britpop Indie Rockstar is now available as an audiobook. Not only did I have to spend 7 hours, 11 minutes and 1
