Hello again folks … it’s been a while, hasn’t it?

First off … HAPPY NEW YEAR! New decade and loads of exciting stuff in the world of poetry and music and … stuff.

This year sees me and my good mate, Dreadlockalien, running the West Midlands Youth Poetry Slam project. Anyone can enter, as long as you get yourselves into groups of three or more. Oh … and you need to be 18 or under. There’s three age categories, so check out the website at www.youthslamwm.com .If you’re a teacher or youth leader, there’s loads of downloadable stuff there to help the “yoofs” out.

My book is still available … and it’s been selling really well! It’s a collection of my poems aimed at “the young and the young at heart”, that means no inappropriate language! It’s called THE DAY THE EARTH GREW HAIR (and other stuff) and is priced at £7.99 (plus £1.99 p&p) and is available NOW from my “shop” page. If you want a signed copy then let me know.

Don’t forget my ‘my space’ space, for gigs and general shenanigans. Be my friend! Here’s the link … http://www.myspace.com/spoz4 .

If you’re a teacher and want to know what I can do for your school, have a look at the poetry or music workshops pages and drop me an E-Mail for a better chat …which reminds me … a massive “HELLO” to everyone I’ve seen and worked with last year at the various schools I’ve been to – especially the SANDWELL crews. A top night was had at THE PUBLIC in West Bromwich – well done everyone!

By the way … I’ve got a gig in April, supporting the legendary JOHN COOPER CLARK. It’s at The Artrix Theatre in Bromsgrove. Check out their website HERE.

Keep right on and all that …
