June Newsletter It's raining heavily and it remains unusually chilly for the time of year. It must be midsummer in England. Indeed, so cold was it last week, that I had to take a couple of young secretaries into the airing cupboard in case ... hang on a minute, did I say secretaries? Sorry that should have read baby Jackdaws. Well, anyway it's raining now, which suits me because it's what I call good writing weather. Have we got news for you? I am sorry the Blog's been so slack lately. Much of
the work I do is kind of invisible to you at the moment but there's
been a lot of it. I now find that I'm about two-thirds way into my
next book, for instance. Working title is Psycle-Geography and it
will be out in mid autumn I guess. It's, yes, a psycho geography of
the area where I live. A kind of continuation of Prospect of Wivenhoe
but much wider ranging. And when I've done that, next up of the board
will be This Little Ziggy Part Two (not its actual title) Which will
cover years 1975 to 1990. GIGS RECORDS Have a good summer, keep those ideas coming in and I'll be among
you taking notes. Bring back Betty Boothroyd. Plus the lovely Diana Dors.

I'm recording an edition of A Good Read for BBC R4 soon,. Transmission date will be announced as soon as they tell me what it is. No recording activity resuming yet but I'm not worried about this because there's a good little collection of songs building up.You may have missed the fact that The Damned have had a new album out this past few months.Called So Who's Paranoid? It received a great review in The Guardian of all places. A songwriter not far from here c-wrote the opening track A Nation Fit For Heroes with Capt Sensible. The Damned are currently out touring by the way. Very good too. Next month incidentally ( June 23rd) , I'm doing a
daytime poetry reading at Croydon Fairfield Halls. This is where Captain
and Rat began their illustrious careers cleaning toilets, before going
on to help invent punk rock. This, you may also have missed. A Other than that, I'm trying to get on with writing the book(s) and tracks which will probably all surface at the same time in coming months and months. I know the blog's been quiet and only Joe and Jim are keeping the massage board alive at the moment but stuff is actually going on here behind the scenes. Periods like this are to be enjoyed - for me at least -. So the main news is that I now have the time to make and do all the things I haven't been able to do for months. Merry sheep. images this month here are by Martin by Neil Holden
who has a forthcoming exxhibition soon and the lovely Susannah York
April Glowers Okay
so I've been away for a while, but can't I trust you to look after
anything when I'm gone? The message board looks like a bomb's hit
it. The Blog hasn't been swept and dusted in nearly a month and someone's
spilt a carton of milk all over the homepage. Paul and I will are
getting the online shop ready even as I squeak. The boards are just
about to come down in the front, and Paul's busy putting the stock
out on the shelves. Elsie, the girl on the bicycle is sat by the co
mputer just waiting for those first orders, so GIGS SOON: GIGS SOONER: RECORDULAR MATTERS:There has been a discernible
movement in this direction. I'm awaiting news from Cherry Red. Now
that most of my stuff in downloadable, they want more. So do we. BOOKS: Yeah , yeah I know. But with all this other stuff and writing deadlines, when do I get a chance to settle down to some writing? Right now, that's when. I'll be in my study if anyone wants me. Or I'll be painting and cleaning. Or drinking. Or sleeping. Good luck to yerz all. This is Johnny Rhythm.

Froze Janiveer January Newsletter Aye
and a hard time we've had of it so far. But it's 2009 and time to
make plans. There is one gig this month and it's in Wivenhoe at the
Greyhound, night of Thursday 15th. This is a gig for Poetry Wivenhoe
and I'll be doing it with the excellent Jude Simpson and Roz Hall.
Just to kickstart the year, really. The
big news is that Paul W and I are going to start up an online shop.
This is being organised quite soon. It's for you the listeners and
the readers and we want to try and give it very much the flavour of
the website. What will we sell? Well, as I mentioned earlier I have
a box of old JAR Music stuff and more to come. These items vary from
rare-ish vinyl pressings (The Spirit Cage for instance) to CDs without
covers (My Back Wages...got quite a few of them and other oddities.
They're broken biscuits and discontinued lines really. I'll be trying
to sell them at a fair price. I don't know what the demand will be.
I personally will be doing the packaging and sellotaping of things
with my own fair hand, cos I used to be a postboy see, and I'm good
at it. Recording Gigs Good luck to you all. This website seems to have become a thing of its own and has attracted some of the world's best quiet eccentrics in the process. We love it.. Stay in touch. And good luck to Mr.Obama, he's got a bit of a ball of string to unravel there. Let's be audacious enough to hope he does it. for those of you who's alt text does not work, the images are Billie Whitelaw and 'Wivenhoe where even the trains have been drinking'
The old year staggers to its feet,
totters over to a dusty sideboard and pours itself a chipped enamel
tooth-mug of brackish old sherry, before sniffing loudly and in a
voice cracked with age and sorrow, says:. (Oh,
get on with it Newell! Ed)
Books/Books: This
Little Ziggy is now firmly launched. We sent out a few review copies
but to be honest, it's really not worth it. Ginny at Wivenbooks says
it's going pretty well. We find people just don't review things like
books and records (or not mine anyway) and after some pretty good
sales figures for other items this past couple of years, I'm thinking
of reviewing the whole reviewing thing altogether. Records/ Records:Songs are alowly beginning to build up and I reckon I'll start a new album early next spring. Hopefully, for autumn release. I'm just waiting on the good folk at Cherry Red to give me the nod. Songs so far are Cleaners-ish/Newell-ish. Expect jangle, Rickenbacker. Oh, and possibly a bit of Spanish laud.
Online Shop! Yes, that's
right. Paula Webster, Steve Dix and I will be endeavouring, next year
to get an online shop up and running. I've been in touch with Joachim
Reinbold of the much-missed JarMusic. He's already freighted me out
a huge box of old stock. This is what we call broken biscuits at the
moment but a casual inventory reveals a quantity of vinyl ( Spirit
Cage and the accompanying three-track singles) There's a few My Back
Wages CDs and all sorts of other goodies Such as? A few Live in Osaka
CDs in original packaging. And I'm expecting another consignment soon Other Gigs:
Paula Webster's belated report on this year's Golden Afternoon can be read, heard and watched here. November Newslettuce Settled in for the winter now? A last few leaves hanging
on the trees, a distant haze of grey smoke over the blue woods and
time to light that pipe, strew a bit of straw over the floor of the
Saxon longhouse, and reflect on all the misdeeds and mistakes of the
long-dead summer. That tartan miniskirt and the white pvc boots we
tried on at the Watercolour Challenge in September for a start...We
shan't be wearing that again. But still... GIG: This year's CHRISTMAS WITH JOHNNY and MARTIN (and
Young Luke Wright) will be at COLCHESTER ARTS CENTRE on Thurs. BOOK "THIS LITTLE ZIGGY" Anything else? Mmm... yeah. Loads of gigs packing in for next year.
Loads of stuff to do. And yes, I'm feeling better, thanks. People
have been so kind.
Because I used to love her but it's...
I had a fabulous if too-short time in the city of Bilbao
which I really took a liking to. First of all, those gigs in full. Friday 3rd October/ Studio Theatre of the Grand Theatre in Blackpool. Poetry. This is me Steve Tasane and Will Holloway, billed as the Three Incredible Talking Men Wednesday 8th October/ Princes Theatre Clacton...more
poetry and a bit of music in a gig called Carry On Poetry with fellow
poets Polly Enfield and Jude Simpson.
Right now, I'm looking forward to finishing these last few October
dates and having a bit of a think. Oh and in case you wondered, I
never did finish that house-painting job...
The colours of tired summer hang listless on the trees,
a cool wind ruffles your bear and the inscrutable slate sky seems
to giggle at you: Isn't it time you stopped pouting at yourself in
the mirror and did some work? The answer to this is course, Well
possibly...but just let me try on one more dress? Oh,and d First things second: The Golden Arvo
is coming up in a scant few weeks on SEPTEMBER 21st to be precise. You
can get info from Colchester Arts Centre on www.colchesterartscentre.com
or ring to book on (0)1206-500900. We've got special guests Lee and Kimberley and hopefully a few other
people too.
There'll be cakes, tea, ale and a welter (whatever that is) of music and other stuff. BBC Radio Four's programme Coward the Poet ran a week early on Sunday 24th. They didn't bother telling me. You can catch it on Sat 30th Sept again at 11.30 I think. There's only a bit of me on it. Switch your kettle on too slowly and you'll miss me. Very good programme though. I'm supposed to be making another BBC Inside Out TV documentary this month for screening in October. But I don't believe anything that anyone working in broadcasting says any more. Then I'm off to do one or two music gigs in Spain, straight after The Golden Afternoon. October Gigs: BOOKS: I'm going to start work
again on the only-a quarter-written Prospect of Wivenhoe II very soon.
Not out till Christmas 09 though. THIS LITTLE ZIGGY, my rock memoir, which has been out of print for about 5 years now, will be back in print this November. It will be more or less as it was but in a brand new cover and published by Wivenbook, who brought out Prospect of Wivenhoe 1, so well. MUZIC: Yep, I've got a small brace of new songs. Carl Seager and I will, if nothing goes wrong, be recording in early spring of next year for a follow-up to A Summer Tamarind. No surprise changes of direction or anything. You like me jangly, a bit psychedelic, lots of vocal harmonies, a bit of wackiness, plenty of cunning chord changes, verses, choruses and not too much production? That's what you'll get. Unless Simon Cowell suddenly decides he likes me and give me loads of money to bring out some rubbish. That's it for now. Hope to see some of you at The Golden Afternoon...or at least in the locked ward afterwards. Look...it's been great. Let's do it again sometime. JULIE NEWSLETTER ...well, I only had the Salade Nicoise and some extra chips, which
comes to about eight quid in all, oh and the two Nazzuro Astra and about
half a carafe of house red with the double cointreau chaser so I can't
see how my bill will be any more than about thirty. Look, let's add it
up again shall we?
July
and August I also
have to write some new stage stuff and when James Dodds is back from his
sojourn in America, we have to think about re-servicing This Little Ziggy
in time to get it out for Christmas. Those awfully nice bookshop ladies
at WivenBooks will publish it Jardine will just help me with the makeover.
With copies on Amazon going at nearly forty quid a pop, somebody's making
money out of this and it ain't me. So yeah, it looks like I've got some
spare time on my hands at last.
Golden
Afternoon (6)is on in about two or so months and although
we're not doing a new album till next year, I reckon it's about time I
started writing new stuff don't you? Shortly after the Golden Arvo, I've
got one or two gigs in Spain, it says here. More about that later. I pledged
to not work so hard this year and it's been the most workingest year for
years of years, so I obviously got that wrong. Date for BBC Radio 4 Noel
Coward programe about his poetry is 31st August about 3.00 pm.. I talked
loads but I don't know how much of it they'll use. A BBC TV programme about
culture in my region is being filmed in September.
One last
question I want to throw open to the panel: I recently had my long autumnal
curtains dry-cleaned and they look great. But they do smell a bit funny.
Any idea what that is, anybody? Does it eventually fade? Because it's driving
me nuts. Anyone else had this experience or worked in a dry cleaners before?
All replies treated in confidence.

PARIS IN JUNE: I'm not going. There is a perfectly good reason for this. Although my song On Lighthouse Way has been nominated for an award, you can't really hear it very well in the film. In fact you can hear the gasps and rustlings of the couple making love louder than the radio which the track jangles out of, while they're going it like badgers. Having said that, Primrose Hill is a stunning film. I'm not hurts about this, it's just that I'd feel a bit of a fraud going to the awards. How do I network that? " My track. Oh...yeah. It's that jangle coming out of the radio during the money-shot." And anyway... awards ceremonies? Come on. Not really me is it? Can I get on with my work now, please? I'm looking forward to a summer doing a few gigs, writing some music, finishing part two of A Prospect of Wivenhoe and making a couple more television programmes, they tell me.

Spring Newellsletter It's mid April, it's a bit cloudy, no it's a bit sunny, it's a bit warm,
it's raining again, oh no, wait a minute, it's stopped, no...it's nearly
sunny, it's cloudy, bugger, it's really pouring down, now it's cleared..oh
no, it's got really cold again etc etc etc. Ms B. is doing stuff to her
house, including ripping out that MC Escher-designed staircase that the
previous idiots put in. "It's simply hopeless, Binky," she wails: "I go
downstairs to the attic and find that I'm only halfway up to the top bedroom,
before I find myself on another flight going upstairs to the basement."
BOOK: A new poetry collection Selected Poems, the absolute worst of twenty
years of my work is due out round about 6th May. This is being published
by the great Jardine Press and has a helluvva foreword from femme doyenne
and all-round top woman of Essex, Professor Germaine Greer. I'm not kidding,
this is a hell of a bill. I even had to look up one or two of the words
she'd written, so copious were her notes. The book will have two launches.
TELEVISION: Shortly before all this happens, BBC TV East, Inside Out who brought you the Rock ferry documentary will be showing Miners, another slightly weightier documentary we made, which is about the 1984 Miners Strike and its effects on my town. I don't have a date for this yet but I think Fri 25th April BBC 1 about 7.30 is a likely date and time. We will keep you posted about this. Later this year it looks like we'll be making another programme too, for next autumn. MORE GIGS: I'm definitely performing at the Bath Fringe this year. Two gigs so
far...for Monday 2nd June and Tuesday 3rd of June. Venues and times as
they come in. Bath gigs are always fun. As some of you will know, that
was where I lived for 6 months, when I made the Englishman album, and we
also stayed there during the Brotherhood of Lizards Tour, so it's a bit
of a pilgrimage really.
MORE BOOKS: Work has begun on A Prospect of Wivenhoe (2). Out in November we hope. It's been going slowly but will get underway properly soon. I seem to spend all my time working. Is this what writers are supposed to do? SPOKE'N'WORD 2008: When summer finally gets here we'll be rejuvenating some sort of Spoke'n'Word tours. This year we'll be doing town tours and walks from pub to pub, because we think it might be more popular than the country walks and the 16 mile cycle rides in the pouring English rain. Meanwhile I continue to write weekly poems for The Sunday Express and
a column for The East Anglian Daily Times (p.10 every Saturday, 900 words
on life here in Essex, please Martin.) I really enjoy this stuff. And I've
even found time to start writing The Wildman blog again. Merry spring everybody.
Call anytime. We never clothes.
Beware the Newsletter of...MARCH It's March, the sun is getting stronger, the days are getting longer and the glistening banners and burnished shields of the enemy's serried ranks are only just over the hill in Frating, so let's get this great big underwired brassiere of a newsletter hauled off and get ourselves go-go dancing into the cage of all our trembling tomorrows. Yassuh! GIGS COMING UP SOON:
We've got Wivenhoe Librararary on the 26th of March for Essex Book Festival
GIGS IN THE MIDDLE DISTANCE: May 10th: Essex University Lakeside Theatre. Spoken word. June? BATH FRINGE FESTIVAL this will be a special gig to be announced, connected with the showing of the film IF.... I'll be doing a talk and telling some gags. There might be other stuff too, because it's my old friends at the Bath Fringe. More later on dates and times. July 5th : St Albans Maltings Arts Centre. Solo gig. I'm doing two sets. July 12th Rock in the Garden (tbc) This is a great little charity gig over the river in east Colchester which helps to raise money for an African village. And I've always wanted my own African village, so give generously, the shipping costs won't be cheap you know. August 2nd Rudry Village Hall. A whole evening of me in lovely south Wales. Big Al Davies is putting this one together for me. Yaay! .........................................................................................................................................
My own Selected Works is due out in spring on Jardine Press . We're
just waiting on foreword, proofs etc. More info when we have it.
Despite me trying to have a bit of peace and quiet, the phone keeps ringing, the mail still arrives and Ms B. keeps bringing new footwear into the house. So don't expect it to be too quiet for long. The blog's been raked out, re-set with kindling wood and is blazing nicely again. Not only that,our local estimable organ of truth and justice The East Anglian Daily Times, after a trial period, have decided they like me, so they're having me wrapped and taken home. My column size has been increased ( something Viagra never succeeded with) and I'm thriving on the work. So merry March to you all and see you on the massage board. Hep hep!. February Newell'sletter Hi Everyone,
GIGS:
Writing:
Musicals.
Merriage: Ms B and I are to marry. Probably not till spring of 2009. So don't
go out buying those flimsy provocative dresses yet, Paul and Steve.
TV: The Rock Ferry programme's BBC 1 broadcast date will be upon us soon and I start filming the Miners Strike documentary this week. In fact I have to work on it now, so goodbye. Blogs will start again soon Mwah! Love you. January
Newsletter and AGM
Gigs:
For some reason there are two coming up in Poole in Dorset. One on Thursday
14th Feb at Poole Yacht Club and another on the 19th Feb at The Lighthouse,
which is the Arts Centre. More about them in the next newsletter, when
I find out what the hell's going on.
Discs: A
Summer Tamarind seems to be selling steadily in its small way. Those reviews
we've had... and there weren't many in print.. have been very good. The
internet reviews have been mostly very good except for one guy in Australia
who hated the album and told us so. I don't think we've had any airplay.
So hardly any reviews and not much airplay. I'm obviously doing something
right, staying true to form, writing the wrong sorts of tunes, tackling
unpopular subjects and generally being me. If, after I'm dead, they all
start saying that they were fans all along, they're lying, alright? There
are times when I wonder why I bother doing any music at all. But mostly
I carry on, because I like it and I can't not do it. Anyway, this record,
in its few months of shelf-life, has already outsold the last one after
4 years of its shelf-life. Though that doesn't mean we've sold a lot. Carl
Seager and I may start another album next summer or autumn if Cherry Red
give us the go-ahead.
Books: Carrying
on my 'staying local' stance, my book A Prospect of Wivenhoe blithely shifted
over 600 copies in the 4 weeks up to Chritsmas from one local shop.
During this time A Big Book Chain, having been initially uninterested in
the book, ordered 20 and then two days later another 70. We haven't bothered
sending any review copies out to anyone in London yet, cos we couldn't
be arsed. But we possibly will do now. It's done very well. I'll probably
write a part two now for release in late autumn, but I don't want to thrash
myself as hard as I did last year so I'll take this one slower.
TV Stuff:There
is, as I mentioned, one TV documentary in the can, slotted for broadcast
sometime in spring and I start filming another in February ( this one about
the Miners' Strike). More stuff is in the offing. All of this for BBC TV
1 by the way.
M Francois Ribac has his new opera premiered in France quite soon. I have written some of the libretto. More info on this, when he sends me some. Happy New Year to Francois and Eva and Cathal by the way. Meanwhile, I find today, that my old book about the ghost dog Black Shuck is to be converted to a children's opera for 5 schools in Norfolk. Very excited about this. I'm waiting to see what they want me to do next, since it's being performed first week of May at Great Yarmouth Hippodrome ( a really amazing old venue.) Work continues for the Sunday Express and for the good old East Anglian Daily Times, where I'm now a columnist at large in Essex. Spoke'n'Word: I'm considering changing the nature of these guided summer tours. We'll probably try and run it out of the bookshop and do more general tours of this small town. These will be aimed at people who ain't necessarily as fit as a marine commando. We feel that the all-weather cycle and walking trips which we've done up until now, have a limited market, being slightly too strenuous for some folk and people would really rather have a shorter stroll starting with a pub and ending with one. But we'll still have a few site-specific poems and load of old chat from me. We're shirt-sleeving ideas around soon. Conclusion: I've made enough to continue being alive for another few months and I can still house Ms B's many shoes and my daughter's collection of plastic bags full of sparkly tops and Nintendo rechargers. Apart from my old man kicking off last November it was quite a good year. So I'm going to blow up a large balloon, have a sweet (probably an After Eight) and shout 'Hooray for Modern Life!' Now where are those 17th century death masks and my Sooty pyjamas? Celery.

gurgling
noises. I've got a Roger Whittaker track playing on the stereo at
the moment. No idea why but it does sound quite nice.
few
weeks back, Prof Germaine Greer, top-notch academic and all-round
good old girl, suggested that the Poet Laureateship should be subdivided
into regions and that a poet not far from here, should be Laureate
for Essex. This caused a bit of a flurry in various parts I can tell
you and the guards ran scurrying for the bunkers. The national laureateship,
though, has gone to my learned colleague, the cherishable Carol Ann
Duffy, whom I caught up with again at the St Andrews poetry festival
a few weeks ago. I bet Simon Armitage is breathing a sigh of relief.
Good luck to her. Interesting times...and better times coming, I reckon.
Now can we all get on with our work, please? 
that
she can cycle over and tell me what to send and I'm stocking up on
sticky-tape and cardboard, ready to go. 
I
might be doing a few guitar numbers. I'll have to ask Tai Chi Dave
and Alec, my partners in grime. Lots of early Dylan covers. Hurricane
originally set out to be the house-band at the Greyhound. What happened
though is that other landlords from other pubs see us and invite us
round to their pubs. So far we've done The Park, The Rose and Crown
and now there's rumour of a gig at the Courthouse near Elmstead Market
soon. Can it be long before we play Alresford? And that, matey-boy,
is a tour in our language, so stop that laughing, you in the cheap
seats.
between Friday 21st March and Monday 23rd March. I'm doing a big poetry
festival there called StAnza. You can find it on the web. 
Now
what I have to do, is to make an inventory of everything we have to
sell, set up a Paypal account and work with Paul and maybe Steve to
get it all working in the next few weeks. I also have to write some
more songs and get on with two books, the follow-up to A Prospect
of Wivenhoe, which I abandoned last summer. And of course, now that
This Little Ziggy is republished, to begin Part Two of the next book
of pop memoirs 1975-1990.
o
these long gloves work?
There
are two so far. One on October 3rd at (I think Grand Theatre in Blackpool
and one on October the 8th at Clacton Princes Theatre, which is in Clacton,
on October the 8th (which is also in Clacton) More on this later.
It's going to be a big gig. (in Clacton, that is.) It's with Jude
Simpson and Polly Enfield too. In Clacton. 
Right
now, I'm looking at a big wall of white spaces on my calendar for the first
time in nearly a year. With only my usual writing commitments to get on
with, it looks like I'll be able to finish painting the house and finishing
the psychedelic D-Day veteran's hedge, which no other gardener in the village
dares to take on cos it's just too big, baby. I'm about halfway through
it and if the phone doesn't ring next week, I should be able to reduce
it from its current 13 feet to a manageable 8 feet tall and still keep
the elegance of its line. I'm pruning this up a ladder, by hand I might
add, so wish me luck. 
you'll
like that. Bring kids, dogs and cake plates.
I've
noticed that you never see people dancing around maypoles anymore, do you?
Well, I've decided to do something about it and have duly ordered a new
maypole from Argos. It should be here in a couple of days, so if you're
in the area of the Wivenhoe Bookshop, on the afternoon of Saturday 17th
I'll be there, doing some entertainment round the back and if the maypole
still hasn't arrived, I guess we'll just have to improvise round something
else.

but at least two days out in London and one day out in Norwich, where
Ms B and I had lunch with Young Luke and Young Mrs Luke.Young Luke is now

here at Newell Towers I can assure you but it has not damaged our
