‘You don’t have to die to lose your life but, with faith and determination, another, perhaps even more worthwhile, can emerge from the wreckage.’ _ The Bass Player

This is the last song that Fran O’Toole and The Miami Showband wrote and recorded. “Love is warm, love is free Love is deep inside of me, Heaven knows how it grows With every new day”. This year, some musicians in N. Ireland will honour one of the men who murdered him. #Why ?

3.5 years and 90,719 words later, I finally passed my DPhil English viva with no corrections last week! I'm immensely grateful to my lovely examiners Alexandra Harris and Matthew Bevis, my supervisor Prof Kate McLoughlin, and my friends who organised a celebratory dinner afterwards 💗

I’m told that the interview which I pre-recorded with Stephen Nolan in Belfast recently will be broadcast tomorrow morning, Tuesday, April 22nd. I would like to thank Stephen and all his team at the BBC for their kindness and for the welcome I received. #MiamiShowband50

When the Primary Cancer Diagnosis landed writing about it seemed a ghoulish prospect, but after the Secondary Diagnosis — now I know this will be with me until the end of days — I plan to write a book: ‘Battle Cry: On Cancer, Conflict, and the Writing Cure’.

A small enough worry from the cancer trenches, but cancelling book events planned for summer is a sorry thing. Thank you, John Milton: 'Books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are...'.
