OFF the road for two months after my exhausting November and December tour in support of the Labour Party election campaign and I’m preparing my 40th anniversary poetry and lyrics anthology which will be published by Cherry Red Books in September.
Yes, I did my first gig as Attila the Stockbroker on September 8 1980 and will be celebrating in style at legendary London venue Dingwall’s on September 10 this year with a host of special guests. Tickets on sale now at mstar.link/2QEQVy0
And, needless to say, I’ll be touring all over the country and further afield as well, including what may be my last band visit to mainland Europe – as I’ve mentioned before, I don’t fancy the post-Brexit bureaucracy one bit. Hopefully the Musicians Union will be able to secure a sustainable, bureaucracy-free future for us all. If not, we will all be the poorer, both literally and metaphorically. I live in hope.
