His verses and songs, mostly comic, many commissioned, are about Sheep, Smoking, Tennis, Oysters, Joyce, Horses, Sex, Midsummer, Sport, Christmas, Swans, Yeats, Football, Dracula, Politics, Goldilocks, Irish Proverbs, English History, and whatever you're having yourself. His 2011 highlights included a Scottish tour & the Edinburgh Festival, performances at the Royal Festival Hall, a Bloomsnight for the Musical Traditions Club, a show at the Rose Theatre Kingston ["the sparkling wit of Racker, whose poems are roaringly funny" Kingston Guardian] & evenings with Bray Arts & Ware Poets. In 2012 he'll feature at Sidmouth Folk Festival & Dublin's Frank Harte Festival &, back for the third time, at Whitby Folk Week & Liverpool Irish Festival.
Racker is based in London these days.
