How was the Christmas? The weather’s fierce hah? Jesus, these runners are shite in the snow and ice. More importantly though, did you have that moment during Christmas where everyone else was in the other room; there’s a gentle murmur of conversation seeping under the door and you were sat in front of the fire [...]

Return of the Redeye? Jed-eye? I’m back?

Thanks to events in the real world, I have been seriously lacking in effort with regard to these pages. Interviews, busy days, weddings, funerals. It’s all been going down.
