A sweet little social film that we made for Dormouse Books, using footage captured during our 'A Day In Belper' commercial shoot for Love Belper CIC last summer.

Support independent book shops, y'all!! They are the cosiest spaces.

Latest book was a good 'un. Unusual interconnecting short stories from an Indigeneous community perspective. Often dark, sometimes not.

Rest in peace, Sly Dunbar.

Alongside bassist Robbie Shakespeare, Dunbar formed the most influential rhythm section in Jamaican music history, helping to define the sound of reggae, dub, and dancehall.

Dunbar, a 13-time Grammy nominee, was 73.

My first book of 2026 was "Quinn" by Em Strang. It's an hallucinatory, intense and poetic one. Very different.
