Assistant Professor in Creative Writing at Northumbria University and lapsed early modernist. Working on poetry, novels, & a music memoir/podcast about the Mountain Goats: thirtyyearslater.substack.com. I make music as Groundbird, groundbird.bandcamp.com.
This is our internal funding, RDF - I think Northern Bridge ones, which also include more of a maintenance payment, will be announced separately I think

If you're even half-serious Liz do drop me a message, I'm sure we'd have lots to talk about!

Hell yeah! I think those Ozzy songs really tap into something great. Would’ve loved to tie in Master of Reality too here but I’m still striving to get this finished before 30 years have actually passed

Funded by North Tyneside Council as part of North Shields Cultural Quarter, this is one of four events we'll be hosting and sharing online now and next year where I talk to independent songwriters across the North East about their practice, and produce high quality videos of their songs and Q&A.
