He always wanted to be a writer but all the books he got out of the library were written by people who lived in Surrey, not the Yorkshire Coalfield. He attended North Staffordshire Polytechnic, was a drummer in Barnsley s first folk-rock band and worked in a tennis ball factory before finally becoming a writer. He s been poet in residence at Barnsley Football Club, Northern Spirit Trains and Humberside Police. He s written comedy for radio and plays for the stage. He currently presents The Verb, Radio 3 s Cabaret of The Word, and has also worked extensively for Radios 1,2,4 and Five Live as well as for Yorkshire Television and BBC2 s Newsnight Review. He s worked in schools, theatres, arts centres, fields and front rooms.
