Literature Live, on Resonance FM

Tune in to Resonance 104.4fm at 8pm this Thursday 28 November for Literature Live, when I’ll be joined for readings and chat by two great crime and thriller writers: Emma Curtis and John Lincoln aka John Williams.

ICYM the show’s first outing last year, Literature Live is an occasional programme focusing on live literature – a spoken-word gig on the radio – with the emphasis firmly on authors reading from their prose fiction live on the air.

We’ll be broadcasting live from the Resonance studio in London SE1 — join us on 104.4 FM, on DAB in London, or online!

Ephemera #32: Strength, love, art, politics


‘Strength, love, art, politics – 40 Years of Forced Entertainment’ was quite a night: a warm and moving fortieth-anniversary tribute to this preeminent experimental theatre company. I thought readers might like to see this small piece of ephemera, circulated by Forced Entertainment’s Tim Etchells just prior to the event, which took place online on Sunday 10th November 2024: a final running order.

I was honoured and delighted to contribute to this celebration of the life and work of some very old friends of mine. I’ll tidy up my contribution then share it here in due course. I also contributed to FE RECALL, a series of personal reflections on the anniversary of the company ICYMI.
