Helen Shay

Late 70s, Manchester

Despite all my pissing around, I seem to have got to uni.‘The Conti’, ‘Tommy Duck’s and deadly ‘Plaza’ biriyanis. I’m more into rock punk these days. ‘Pretty Vacant’ with ‘No More Heroes’, and pogo-ing at ‘The Swinging Sporran’. I still study – well, sometimes. I’m mad about Anglo-Saxon poetry and the Pre-Raphaelites. Full of sophistication and Stella lager.

Only then there’s another murder. This side of the Pennines. The footsteps still follow.
