I sort of knew #HenryNormal before he made a name for himself as a comedy writer for #SteveCoogan #CarolineAherne and others. Not well, but well enough to chat to. He probably won't remember me! I prefer my poetry live, so I can hear all the subtleties and intonations the poet had intended. I always feel my own interpretation to be somewhat flat. Having said that #NudeModelingForTheAfterlife is a lovely collection of poems from 1993. Published by the very excellent #BloodaxeBooks

❝ I got goosebumps when I walked into the re-created Haçienda. One of my first gigs was there in 1986, supporting my brother’s band, the Mock Turtles. There was no legendary last night as depicted in the film. I got my climactic speech for that scene out of the way with a clear head, then took half an E. It was – what’s the fashionable word – an immersive experience. We weren’t particularly well behaved. ❞ → https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2023/feb/06/how-we-made-24-hour-party-people-steve-coogan-michael-winterbottom
