In my opinion, this is the definitive examination of the Blue Bell Hill ghost and probably the best book on ghosts I have read. It also contains a healthy element of natural scepticism.

Just had to get medieval with my phlegm. Von Sydow levels of self-torture.

Hi folks. Sadly, the flu, which looks like it might be Covid after all, has laid me low and I’m having to cancel my remaining tour dates this side of Christmas. These will be rescheduled for next year. Hugely sorry to those who were looking forward to seeing Garth this week & next. But he’ll be back

Huge apologies, but sadly Garth/me is down with flu and won’t be able to make his/my two Cambridge shows tonight & tomorrow. Hugely sorry for the late notice but I was hoping we could somehow manage it still, but alas we’ve more or less collapsed. Both gigs will hopefully be rescheduled for January.
