I came to London in 1989, for what I intended to be a short break - and have found it impossible to leave ever since. Born in Liverpool to Irish parents who, while I was still dealing with a snipped umbilical cord, decided to return to Ireland, where I finished school, wrote a lot of teenage angst poetry, usually in Visual Basic programming language, but sometimes in C++.
On arrival in London I decided to make my mark, studied Architecture at South Bank University, and have worked for many of London's public bodies since.
I still write poetry, and I also host a weekly poetry podcast where in the guise of interviewing and recording performances of other poets, I sneakily get free masterclassses in how poetry should be done!

lol Honestly Dominic you should have cut me off when ever you needed to.. I can chat Dominic, and because of the relaxed atmosphere of the phone call I almost forgot it was an interview and kinda went into a ‘friendly’ chat… but thanks Domininc… for being patient!! lol I think I ‘’summed’ it up well when I said ‘I can go all day’…… Respect!!

Nice one Dom and Rukus, although Dom, my residency isn’t about travelling between places and Australia – it’s at WBA football club! It’s the last one to be announced, and it’s only been set up and started in the last couple of weeks, so the first proper post will be done this weekend, more info to come:)I may post up one Australia poem though, now you mentioned it….. Hope all is well with you, and I used your poetry podcast bag in Brighton last week and had someone ask me about it….so hope you have a new listener:)x
