The last time I reviewed The Royston Club I made a bold statement. After a sell-out gig at the Victoria Warehouse I said, “That’s it, we’ll never see them play in Wrexham again until the Racecourse hosts them in a few years’ time.” Two days later, an “Everywhere, All at Once” festival announcement was released. The Royston Club were coming home to the v…

It was one of our usual whinge sessions. We were bemoaning the lack of football. I was in the Butchers Market and I was talking to Rob Clarke. And the subject got around to “What shall we do next” and then Rob comes out with a cracking idea. Why don't we make some videos about historical sites in Wrexham. We talk about giving some facts, giving some jok…

It started with a simple conversation in the Wrexham Library on Friday morning, it ended with me deep in the undergrowth, covered in scratches, in the Moss Valley. I sometimes wonder what goes on in my brain at times, but as soon as someone mentioned the disused railway tunnel between the Moss and Gwersllt, I knew I'd have to investigate.

The Annual Wrex…

It started with a simple Photo of the front of the Butchers Market. I know a few teaders in there, so I know about most of the problems. I know the current Market strategy isn't working, and my Facebook page took off with people commenting on their own thoughts.

I don't need to write many words this week. The pictures paint a thousand words. But, to be honest, after listening to John's heartbreaking stories of how he carries his son in his heart and now lives on for suicide prevention, we should use a thousand words . I say heartbreaking, but its also inspiring that this man can channel the hurt that I catch be…

Saturday 2nd May 2026

We all know that feeling. You wake up exhausted from the day before. You feel like you’ve got a hangover, but you haven’t touched a drop. I dread to think how the drinkers are feeling. I’ve been on an emotional roller coaster, and …

Wrexham 10k.

I'm a man of principles, which sometimes covers the fact that I'm careful with money. When Coventry announced that tickets were £45 I shouted “NO”. I refused to buy a ticket at that price. Even with Wrexham Football Club trolling me by offering free transport, it wouldn'…
