One of Brian’s great interests was poetry and throughout the years he wrote a large amount of his own verse. Covering a range of subjects and styles his writing would often be a very personal response to his own experiences and wider concerns and situations. Several books have been published and the latest of these has recently been published posthumously. A Lark in Lockdown is an autobiographical collection drawing together past musical experience with links to his weekly Hastings Observer columns. Priced £6.50 & plus please email spage999@btinternet.com if you would like to purchase a copy.

In addition Brian’s widow, Sally, has created a website to highlight some of his work and to make his poetry available to a wider audience. The website can be found here.
