EYUP, NOW THEN, HOW DO!
Welcome to Northern Ramblings; the home of rants, rhymes, and raw observations—spat out with a pint in hand and a healthy dose of cynicism.
This is post-punk poetry for the people. No frills, no pretension. Just honest words about modern life in all its grimy, glorious chaos. Expect tales about the working class, the ghosts of high streets past, ghosting, digital life, summer jollies, and the aftermath of a night on the tiles, wrapped up in Yorkshire wit and pure disgust.
It’s as British as a battered sausage — drawing from the everyday chaos of working-class life, the dry wit of a Northern pub regular, and the sharp tongue of Dr. John Cooper Clarke.

Written by Rick McLean aka Macca the Poet, a Leeds-born, London-lost ranter who sees the world through a lens of dry wit, frustration, and the occasional moment of nostalgia.
If you like a bit of JCC, a strong cuppa, shit loads of vinegar on your chippy tea, raw honesty, lots of swearing and complaining about everything, you’ll probably like this too.
