Royal Society of Literature - Fellowship

Royal Society of Literature Fellowship

On 12th July 2023 I was made a Fellow of The Royal Society of Literature! It was something I never imagined in a hundred years.

It's a tremendous honour, & a testament to the quality of my writing. To say I am thrilled is a huge misunderstatement.

Manchester City of Literature - Festival of Libraries 2023

Delighted to get the opportunity to talk to Manchester Festival of Libraries about the importance of libraries in my life!

https://youtu.be/18VPl5qXvkM

And there are many more –
Watch all the short films featuring four accomplished Manchester creative practitioners who have worked closely with libraries over the course of their careers.

Hear how libraries can support artists, writers, dancers, musicians and more to create original work, access valuable resources, gain practical support and inspire creativity.
These films aim to highlight the rich creative diversity of our libraries, and pave the way for emerging artists to head to their local library for ideas and insight for their next big project.

You can view all the films below.

'Because goddess is never enough' - a new film-poem!

‘Because goddess is never enough’ – revealing the new film poem, made in collaboration with filmmaker Jane Glennie.

Absolutely thrilled to announce this new film poem – created over 2021 in collaboration with amazing filmaker Jane Glennie. Inspired by the life of dancer and choreographer Tilly Losch, the film explores notions of erasure, strategies for persistence and the centrality of creative expression for the life of a woman in perpetual motion.

We are delighted with the reception the film is receiving! A list of film festivals is below.
AND there’s a ‘Book of the Film’!

Sept 2022 - The March Violets announce 5 CD boxset release!

Announcing the Novemeber 18th 2022 release of 'The Palace of Infinite Darkness'

It's 40 years since The March Violets released our 1st 7" EP (seriously, FORTY).
So it’s a great time to announce that this tasty 5 CD Box Set is now up for pre order from Jungle Records!
The Palace of Infinite Darkness - In addition to all the singles plus all the extended versions, the box has six excellent BBC sessions, 23 tracks with 9 unreleased songs (also reissued as Big Soul Kiss 2LP yellow vinyl after a sold-out RSD release). Then there are two whole discs of unreleased demo sessions – one from the early period 1982-84 and another from 1985-87. Founder-member Rosie Garland recounts the band’s story in a 44-page booklet.
