Idle Tigress

Rather seasonally, my writing life has finally begun to bloom in the last few weeks. It's a positive development for my purse, but less so for the blog, which got relegated to back burner for a few weeks.

Still, so much to report in those weeks! Namely the fact there's another Yorkshireperson in Toronto. Ok, that may not be surprising in itself, but when you consider that person is a electro noise-making pixie called Idle Tigers who uses Jake Thackray (late poet and singer-songwriter from Pickering, North Yorkshire) and the Bronte sisters for lyrical inspiration, plucks away at a red mandolin and wears a neckerchief, by eck, it's worth an essay in itself.
I'll save that for another day however, and suggest you read my review of his gig (with Seattle's Throw Me the Statue, April 4) in next month's Exclaim! instead.
