Well…I guess the cat’s out of the bag!

This year, I was chosen to be part of the @bbcwritersroom Voices programme

It’s been a thrilling + enlightening time. Met some incredible creatives and I’ve learned so much from the team. ✨

[BBC Writers @bbcwritersroom]

All this week we're announcing the writers who have taken part in our Voices development group this year.

Our third group of eleven writers are from the North and Midlands of England. Meet them all now and find out more over on our blog >>> https://t.co/grHcY0gEjN

Stop programming artists who have poor time management.

Your set starts at a certain time? Be there ON TIME.

I don’t care how big of a musician they are. It’s disrespectful to the crowd and the fellow artists scheduled in the line up.

Roots Picnic is hands down the best festival I’ve ever been to.

Nas, The Roots, Sasha Keable, Yasiin Bey, Common, Robert Glasper, Black Thought AND Floetry?!

Spectacular scenes.

June was actually insane.

2 x big community events.
2 x youth theatre shows.
1 x panel talk on community engagement and arts organisations.
1 x holiday.

Created an adaptation of Where The Wild Things Are…except the Wild Things were punk rocker misfits: grungy playlist, spiky jewellery, the lot. 😂

The joys of working in youth theatre.

They absolutely smashed it. We’re shattered and very, very proud.

Remember the "Birmingham problem" of the 1960s? It was too successful - too many jobs being created etc. SO the gov put in place the Industrial Certificate Rules in order to deny permits to businesses wanted to expand there..

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

The first trailer for Robert Eggers' ‘WERWULF’ has been released.

In theaters on December 25.

The North/South divide exists but the uk has increasingly funnelled everything into London (there's losses in London too think tower hamlets) which has post mid 90s increasingly caused decline in the SW of England, we do need more decentralisation

@DeOne___ What he’s proposing is what happens in other countries (Spain, Germany and the US as examples). This country’s centralised government is not funding the rest of country correctly.

There’s no chip. Government has failed the North and midlands for decades. That’s fact.
