Welcome to my work-in-progress page.

This is where I will be posting excerpts from various projects, such as ....

1066 - The Busker's Revenge

At the idea stage, but I did have a piece in Destination France about it.

Did you know we were invaded in 1066?  Yes, those crafty Normans came over here, burned our villages, stole our women, killed our King and forced us to embroider a 22-metre long comic strip about the whole business.

It's time to enact revenge.  Click through from the 1066 page to see the fantastically witty replies I've had from such luminaries as the Archbishop of Canterbury, Tony Blair and my local MP Bill Cash, who managed to rent a flat off his daughter.

 

 

Becoming George Formby

... is an idea I had about trying to learn how to play like the Wigan comedy songster. 

I had an idea for a book, but due to other commitments have had to put it on the back-burner, but here goes ....

Corder's project.  Can he turn himself from a groaning twanger into the most famous ukulele songster of fun that Britain has ever known?

Yes, my mission is to become a George Formby Impersonator, despite having extraordinarily limited talent.

For those of you under 40 or joining this website from cultures that have not been exposed to George Formby, then it will mean little to you. 

For those of you who know what this, here's a little taste of the book in progress ...Becoming George Formby
