He has written eleven plays and musicals, five of which are collected in the book Mad Angels. Liverpool Fantasy, his best known play, has been produced Off-Broadway and at the Dublin Theatre Festival. He has also written a novel version of Liverpool Fantasy, a memoir Green Suede Shoes and a collection of songs and stories Livin in America.



In 1995 he was named one of the top fifty most interesting New Yorkers by the NY Daily News, several places ahead of Madonna. It would appear, however, that he has lost considerable ground of late to this blonde seductress. Nonetheless, while plotting a comeuppance, he slaves away in bitter and cunning silence on Transport a musical with Thomas Keneally, a new novel Rockin The Bronx, while traversing the highways and byways of America with Black 47 in search of the perfect gig and microbrewery.
