Easy Rhymes A.K.A ...by poet/lyricist Michael Conroy brings together some of the work that has somehow seen him acquire decades-long loyalty from die-hard individuals spread thinly around the globe. Consistently peripheral and with a meagre and fitful work ethic, Conroy somehow managed entry into Manchester's Factory Records opus and recorded a Peel session. He has had national and international radio play, seen work published on both sides of the Atlantic, gigged around the North West, London and New York and been anthologized and shared stages with poetic and literary luminaries. From teenage scribbler and spleen-venter for agitprop magazine 'Outlaw' to co-MC with Hovis Presley at Bolton's long-lost 'Scabaret' to vocals and lyrics for 'the Orch' and 'superqueens' and beyond. This book is for the die-hards, old and new.
