Not one, but two events on Sat 12th Sept. Earlier in the day, my songwriting partner Ian Parks and I will be holding a session at DGLAM inviting attendees to participate in creating a brand-new song that helps preserve the memory of the Sand House, Doncaster’s unique, former Victorian marvel.

Coil will be returning to the Ukrainian Centre to participate in a great night of live music at Doncaster Ukrainian Centre, raising funds for humanitarian aid to Ukraine. Three great local bands for just £10! With all ticket sales going towards the fund. We've not played much this year, so it will be a delight to be back on stage with my Coil buddies, John Wilson, Gary Wells and Kev Fitzpatrick, and we'll be mixing a few of our own songs with some choice covers

I'll be launching my new poetry pamphlet A Parliament of Apples at Doncaster Brewery and Tap on Saturday 20th June at 2.00 pm. Supporting me will be poetry readings by Sarah Wimbush and Ian Parks, and Stuart Palmer will be playing a few songs for us. Book your FREE place on this link to make sure you get in. You would be very welcome. https://www.tickettailor.com/events/crookedspirepress/2252941?fbclid=IwY2xjawSaTrBleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeYJYG

Mick and his writing partner Ian Parks have regularly performed music and poetry evenings together, but this is the first time there's been a joint poetry reading between the two. Retford Book Fest is in its second year and has a remarkable and eclectic roster of literary events over the week commencing 6th June. Mick and Ian are at The Grove Methodist Church at 4.00 on Friday 12th June. Tickets at https://wegottickets.com/event/693784
