      Special Thanks

      I wish to thank various people for their support with my writing and poetry.

      Firstly I wish to thank my family for being there and putting up with me during the process of writing and producing this collection. Especially my children. You do give me hope for the future!

      I also wish to thank John Jazzman Clarke for his contribution and insight into my work. Jason Brummell for his continued support, and the pleasure of us writing the collaborative poem What Happened To The Nine To Five.

      Those who have helped promote my books: Mark Hynds at Subbaculture, for his interest, support, and the fantastic book cover he created for this collection, Gary Malby, Chris Free, Gabriela Giacoman and French Boutik, Bobby Tarlton and Dr Bird. Author's Pete Mckenna, Tony Beesley and Matteo Sedazzari.

      The Vinly Avengers, Ian Loader and Jade Ward. Rick Blackman, Mick Rose at Pelicano Menswear, Flash Harry at mezzomanblog.wordpress.com, and Mark Raison @ the ubercool Monkey Pick's blog. Lastly, Adam Cooper at Heavy Soul!  Along with Paul Orwell a gracious and talented up and coming singer/songwriter and musician whose do it yourself drive is so inspiring.

      Further thanks go to my good friends Steve Margrain, Ash Raddon, Kev Walsh and Stephen Nixey. Whom I have probably bored silly with continually going on about my creative endeavours -but have shown enough interest to accompany me on various escapades.

      Cheers guys!

      Jason Disley February 2017.
