URBAN GRIMSHAW AND THE SHED CREW
My memoir Urban Grimshaw and the Shed Crew (published 2005) reached the bestsellers list and was shortlisted for the Orwell Prize (for making political writing accessible to the working class).
It recounts my time with a crowd of feral runaway teenagers in 1990s Leeds.
​
​"If it's one of the functions of art to take you places and show you things you wouldn't otherwise have access to, then Urban Grimshaw is a masterpiece."

URBAN AND THE SHED CREW
THE MOVIE - OFFICIAL TRAILER
I recently co-wrote the screenplay of the forthcoming film Urban and the Shed Crew (Blenheim Films). The company previously produced the award-winning Trashed with Jeremy Irons, about the mountains of toxic rubbish that are building up in oceans and landfills worldwide.
The Urban movie premiered at the 2015 Leeds Film Festival to sell-out houses and critical acclaim.
