A-up mi ducks,
It’s been a very busy time: I’ve countless readings/performances coming up so head over to the live/readings page to find out when and where!
I’ve also secured a position as the shadow-writer-in-residence for the Writing East Midlands:Write here-Sanctuary Project. This is a project aiming to support refugees and Asylum seekers in the facilitation of their own stories written in English. I’m ultra-mega-proper happy to be involved in such a wonderful venture and I’m looking forward to doing my bit to make refugees welcome here in Derby!
I also have some other amazing news but I’m not allowed to tell you that yet….
In the meantime check this, buy tickets and come!

Hi people,
It’s been a long time since I made any kind of blogpost so here goes: Over the last few months I’ve been back out performing selections of poetry from my collection. This has included greatly received sets at Twisted tongues, Deda Poets, The Lyric Lounge and The annual Nottingham Poetry Society Slam, in which I finished a respectable 3rd place. I have loads more coming up over the foreseeable future so please do check back for updates. For now head over to the Live/Readings section to check out when I’m next performing!
Until next time
Jamie
