Audio Tracks

Following the success of my poem Stabberjocky, I decided it might be fun to put it to music. The talented Swoomptheeng music collective from Birmingham have done something wonderful with it. To listen to their creation, click here.

Swoomptheeng also added the incidental music to my short story Love, and Coats, which I recorded for Brum Radio in June 2016. You can listen to that here.
