This is how NIALL O’SULLIVAN’s week has panned out. Firstly, the Wimbledon Tennis Championship get their wires crossed and forget that NIALL O’SULLIVAN, ROGER ROBINSON and NII PARKES were the poets in residence last year, making MATT HARVEY at least the forth Wimbledon poet and not the first. But hey, we all make mistakes, especially me! So to top it all off, NIALL came along to BANG last night to see the wonderful TIM TURNBULL spin a few yarns. Because we were short of a regular gunslinger or two, NIALL kindly stepped up to the mic to fill the void with a bit of quality. At the end of the night, yours truly is thanking everyone who helped make it another corker, and whose name do I forget to add to the list – yes, you’ve guessed it – please step forward NIALL O’SULLIVAN – WIMBLEDON POET + TOP GUNSLINGER – WE SALUTE YOU!

Why not buy NIALL’s book to make up for it!
