Hope you manage to find one or two things that catch your imagination in this trawl of the deepest, darkest depths of my archives. Think I’m right in saying that none of these are available anywhere else online, so if you’re a big fan of say Super Furry Animals, Idlewild, I Am Kloot or, erm, Chris Kamara (and incidentally, what a great super-group that would be), then perhaps you’ll enjoy discovering something new about them here.
I also appreciate that this is a pretty weird mix of topics, so in the unlikely event that you’re not as fascinated by Venezuelan politics as you are by Tenacious D’s film debut, I’ve put together a round-up of every post below to help you skip to the ones that interest you:

Oh and in case you’re wondering, the reason a lot of these articles are fairly old is simply that my more recent work tends to still be available online.
So if there’s something in particular you’re after that’s not mentioned above, let me point you in the direction of the hotel food and drink features I’ve done for Supper; the regional business news stories I’ve written for North West Business Insider; or the SEO, PR and social media marketing reports I’ve penned for theEword. Alternatively, you may be more interested in my local paper stuff for the Southport Visiter, the Liverpool Echo and the Watford Observer; my travel journalism for Frosty The Nomad; my sports writing for WorldCupComedyPundit; or my quirky pieces for Time Out.
If you want to find out more, or you’re going stir-crazy on furlough like me and just fancy a chat with another human being, I’d love to hear from you!
