Despite the fact that I think I regularly sound like Ralph Wiggum, I have agreed to write and read a piece about all things ‘noir’ for artist Ken Lambert at the opening of his new show, entitled Hardboiled. I’m actually quite thrilled to be involved in this minute way. Ken’s work is gorgeous and I’m really looking forward to seeing it hung in all its splendour.

The venue is- The Back Loft, La Catedral Studios, 7-11 St. Augustine Street. From 6-8 pm.

Fancy Dress is preferable.

So if you have some time spare on Friday, do please pop along.

From humble beginnings, a belief in himself and actual talent, crime guru Declan Burke from Crime always pays has gone stateside with his brilliant second novel The Big O.  You can find his interview  at the following page.

Go take a gander, feel inspired, feel proud. Ain’t it sweet to see the good guys win?
