SUPER-NEW: I help out at the cultural artifact archive of Remembering Ireland (both Facebook and Twitter)

NEW: I reviewed Steve Bruce's crime thrillers, SWEEPER!  and DEFENDER! for top cleverclogs football site, The Setpieces. This following my review of his equally awful debut novel, STRIKER! 

oh, look i just interviewed Alan Moore for the Irish Times.

this summer I accidentally became the internet's premier exponent of post-Brexit panic in relation to the referendum's likely horrific consequences for my native Northern Ireland.

i write about culture for The Irish Times, review music for XLR8R and various scribblings for numerous other papers, mags and websites. 

i am universally adored for the many rush hour crushes i've had published in the UK Metro and my ongoing quest to get pooey words printed on Nutella jars.

i occasionally write short stories, and am also known for having reviewed Morrissey's List of the Lost). I also write articles about all sorts of music.

there are also my patented letters from Santa. 

if you have been affected by any of the issues raised by this website, please get in touch.
