Levenshulme, where I live in central Manchester, has its own stone circle. It was built some time around 2005 but no-one is really sure why. I'm so used to it I forget it is rather an odd thing to find in a relatively deprived urban neighbourhood.

Returning briefly to Twitter to let you know that we won an award. Bye!

We're thrilled to announce the return of Ghosts at the Old Library! Continuing the tradition of Christmas ghost stories, we’ve commissioned six incredible writers to share their own haunting tales in our historic, shadow-filled building. Tickets go on sale from Friday.

Hey, I helped a new writer work on a ghost story - you can hear her read it here. The theme was created using a sample of Ella which was then fiddled about with (technical term) to turn into music.

New project incoming!
