I’m from Bristol via Manchester Metropolitan and a year annoying Ma, Pa, DSS…. Born in 1978 in humble surroundings visited only by shepherds and mythical strangers, I progressed through school, eventually studying English within the cloistered mews of Manchester. After finding myself and clearing the overheads of local hostelries, I entered the world of work, finding money available at the Job Centre. During this time I worked in local radio and waited for my big break.
