About

dsc02074

On a day not unlike today, in a distant galaxy, a rocket ship blasted off from a doomed planet; hurtled through the Milky Way, past Mars and lots of other well-known chocolates, before crash landing on earth.

Once in a lifetime someone destined to change the face of poetry comes along. Someone who could combine Oscar Wilde's wit and repartee with the story telling ability of Tolkien. Unfortunately he was on the rocket ship that crash-landed on earth - and didn't survive the impact...

What they say...

Gordon Zola, in true Manchester style, is evocative of a psychedelic Badly Drawn boy - Emma Unsworth, City life magazine.

Sweetrapper could be the next number one - Key 103 FM radio.

What a lovely, funny man - Babara Vine (Phoenix nights)

No Strings is a unique mix of comedy & music - Aggraman (Buzz Club)
