Poetic Off Licence by Hovis Presley
Entertainment with the emphasis on "tert". Since running away from home at the age of 28, award winning writer Hovis Presley (the award wasn't for writing) has found fame as the inventor of the bra-less strap and the individually wrapped baked bean. His interests include postal kerplunk and choosing the eight sandwiches he'd take to a desert island - currently seven cheese and an egg mayonnaise. He has produced this book using only a pin and a dictionary. In memory of Richard Henry McFarlane (Hovis Presley), 1960-2005. This re-issue of Poetic Off Licence is based on the 'Bumper Edition' of 2005.
“Never stops being funny” – The Guardian; “Absolutely brilliant.” – Mark Radcliffe; “A slice of Real Loaf.” – John Hegley; “Ooooph!” – John Shuttleworth; “The other day I met Hovis Presley, a fine poet and a true gentleman. So I had a drink with all three of them.” – John Cooper Clarke
Hovis Presley began writing poems and sketches as a teenager but only ventured out onto the north-west comedy circuit at the age of 29. A regular on radio and television throughout the nineties and the turn of this century, he died suddenly in June 2005 following a heart attack at the age of 44.
