Fair enough, but doesn’t change the fact that I don’t like people who haven’t got a copy of Pleasantly Disturbed by @tismeleese.bsky.social on their shelves. Hate ‘em, really. Here’s wishing you a happy and healthy new year, Tony!

As Simple Minds announce their biggest US tour for 40 years, it seems an ideal opportunity to mention my book, Pleasantly Disturbed, about a teenager obsessed with Simple Minds at their glorious stadium peak. Links in bio. Thanks! And, to quote the great man himself, "Let me see those hands!"

My Simple Minds / Kate Bush-inspired comic crime novel Pleasantly Disturbed makes a perfect Christmas present for the 80s music and book lover in your life. Cheaper than a pint at a London gig and worth buying just for the cover by @sourjazz.bsky.social Available from bookshops or links in bio. 🙏🎶
