Here is the hub of my thoughts; ideas, experiences, everything and anything. If you have something you’ve been thinking about or something you’d like me to write about, let me know.

George The Poet, Start The Bus

Apr 20, 2015 | ,

Last month I went to see George The Poet at Start The Bus but before I write about the show let me just give you a bit of background. I’ve been following George’s career for a hot minute. Like most, the first I heard from him was ‘My City’ published ahead of the Olympics. Some […]
