As if it wasn't exciting enough to be invited to speak at The British Library on its Gothic panel on 9th November...

I was invited to talk on the Steve Lamacq show on BBC Radio 6, live from the Library! Click the link to hear me ramble on about the fantastic Gothic- themed exhibition, writing gothic and singing in The March Violets.
