Reviews
"Poignancy without pretension, scalpel sharp insight. Viney's observations on class and culture are deft, powerful and most importantly bull's-eye accurate." - Byron Vincent, poet & playwright / "An extremely talented poet, both on stage and the page, and (almost as important) he's a top bloke." - Marvin Cheeseman, poet / "One of the authentic voices of Manchester, a man who can be funny, sincere and compassionate in one fell swoop." - Jo Bell, former Director National Poetry Day / "At first I thought he was going to try and steal my handbag, but instead he stole our hearts! And my handbag." - Thick Richard, poet
