My novel about musical life on the road in the 1980s is on free download for a week at Amazon, if you fancy it for a Christmas read. It follows the fortunes of keyboard player Jonnie Cole as his band tour Europe over Christmas 1985.

A tale of sex, drugs and synthesisers, it is not for the prudish!!

Hello writers, Just a reminder that tonight will be our first night to try out a new venue. We will be meeting at The Bridge Inn, Port Sunlight Village, as a trial run for future meetings. As mentioned at the last meeting, we will be having a meal beforehand - in lieu of our Christmas Dinner - so please attend at 6pm, after which, we will retire to another room to continue our usual club session. Information about The Bridge Inn can be found here -  https://www.greeneking-pubs.co.uk/pubs/merseyside/bridge-inn/ And hopefully this map and link will assist with finding the location. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Bridge+Inn+Hotel

RIP Arthur Adlen

Many apologies for the tardiness of this post. Wirral Writers is sad to announce the death of one of it's members. Arthur Adlen was a poet, folk singer and song-writer.   Active in Philosophy in Pubs for many years, as well as being very involved in ground level politics in Liverpool, Arthur was proud of his Socialist roots and fought, not only, for equality and respect for everyone, especially 'the workers', but sought to embody the historical fight and plight in his writings that his, and many Liverpool families had and still do undergo daily. He passed away just after the launch of his book on Monday 17th September 2018 - 'Memoirs of a Breck Road Buck and Other Poems'. He was a lovely man - a gentle man - his wry humour, Scouse witticisms, not forgetting a pretty decent singing voice, will be missed. RIP Arthur. https://www.facebook.com/thecasaliverpool/photos/a.436262823243863/970953853108088/?type=1&
