Among other activities, Phil is on the shortlist for the Bolton Children's Book Award (to be awarded on 27 June). Good luck to him and all others mentioned on this page.
Well he didn't make the top slot, but I'm sure he'll take some pleasure from being on this year's shortlist of seven (and it's by no means the first time).
Summer fun
Stargazy Pie Live is at Fuel, Withington (8pm 26 July). Performers so far include: James Doxford, Stuart Morrison, Mike Needham, and somebody called Mark Whitaker. Submissions are invited for the CD magazine (closing date 10 July) on the theme 'There's no place like home'.
