Earlier this year I began my MAGICAL HISTORY TOUR, a live show of history-themed parody songs I've written over the past few years. It's like Horrible Histories meets Weird Al.
Starting next Friday (28th Nov), I'll be posting one EVERY DAY - a whole album of music!

An epic clash between Anglo-Saxons, Scots, and Irish Vikings in 937 AD changed the history of the British Isles. But where did it happen? Historians have spent over a century arguing over where the battle of Brunanburh might have taken place. Now it's my turn.

In a world of artificiality, embrace something real.
Touch it. It's there. No greenscreen, no AI.
By choosing to make something so obviously false - paint and pastels on a board - it's actually more real than the 'realistic' high tech.
And that's why what we do is so different.

My book turns two years old today! In 2023 I published my first book, an almanac of Yorkshire folklore, customs and traditions. It's been very well received and is still available online and in shops. It's a great gift for anyone who loves local history or weird local traditions.
