He was a finalist in the Hammer & Tongue London Poetry Slam earlier this year and is a member of the poetry performance collective The Joy of Six which has performed at festivals across England & Wales and in New York.
"One of the best performers we've seen - entertaining, humane, poignant - a natural poetic voice." (Leicester Poetry Society)
"There's an element of Raymond Carver about these poems, in their humanity, their poignancy, their story-telling tightness . " (George Szirtes)
"Mixer' is a glorious book.- he looks through a glass (or bottle) brightly at so many aspects of humanity ... great premise, excellent execution." (Alicia Ostriker, US poet)
