Nothing quite matches the joy of getting White Stripes tickets.

I'm a bit disappointed they're at the MEN Arena this time when I last saw them at the Apollo, which was an amazing night. But it's THEM, so it will be beautiful regardless of a venue that's ...

What can I say.

Post St Patrick's...

We celebrated in Concert Square, and I for one had a doubly good time, having not marked this important day last year. I'm not sure why. I must've gone temporarily insane. In fact, I definitely had go...

Productivity and wise words.

Today was the seminar at Leeds Met for the latest batch of hopefuls applying for AHRC course funding. I was rather nervous but then my actor friend, Stephen (Walters, played the scouser Shanks in Laye...

Musings on blogs.

I should say, this isn't my real blog. My real blog is a Livejournal and I've kept it regularly for the last four years. If I know you at all in Real Life, chances are I've immortalised you on there a...

I have seen it in stories!
