Now… Jon has been a big admirer of Benjamin Myers’s writing for a while now. So you can imagine he was pretty blummin thrilled when the opportunity to chat to him arose. Of course, as usual, Jon played it very calm, cool and collected on meeting one of his literary heroes. Didn’t he? Presumably? I mean, that’s what a professional would do. Well… No. He didn’t. Not especially. No. So come and hang out with Benjamin Myers with us. Get the skinny on the slog to get his writing career launched, how he tricks himself into writing an entire book and even the story of his punk band Sour Face’s first big gig… plus a whole ancient cathedral-full of other fascinating facts about this frankly brilliant writer. And yes, Jon did write that bit. The big bum-suck.
