Like A Rash

I'm all over the place at the moment...but you know, in a good way.

Check out the first two instalments of "The A-Z of Climate Change", an Undercurrents project that I'm working on - these were filmed at Glastonbury in a slightly off-the-cuff way, future ones should be a little more polished...!

Also, the extended version of my "Just or Bust" article has been published in a new book from the NI called "People First Economics", where I appear to be rubbing some very illustrious shoulders. Klein, Chomsky, Bello, Morales...Chivers. What?

In addition to all this, I've made it through the South East heats into the semi-finals of the national Radio 4 Poetry Slam. It'll be recorded on September 13th, not sure when it'll be broadcast - rest assured, I will let you know!

Oh, and I've been doing some filming for a project called 13 Short Films About Nuclear Power by Tenner Films. Watch this space...I think it's going to be a good one!

So, all quite exciting really. Plus, my album is really truly nearly finished. Honestly.

I can beat that one matey. The Penguin Book of Twentieth Century Protest.

Ghandi, Churchill, Hitler, Haile Selassie, Orwell, Martin Luther King, Germaine Greer, John Pilger, Sylvia Pankhurst, Siegfried Sassoon, Ho Chi Minh, Tony Benn, Lenin, Einstein, Trotsky, Mandela, Che Guevara, Malcolm X and, er, Merrick.

Imagine if they'd got all the contributors to come to the launch party. Everyone cornering Hitler and giving him what-for, while I cadge a spliff off Selassie and try to get him and Che to swap hats for a photo.
