about me

By profession a musician - guitarist and composer. Generally an arty farty vagrant; peddling art and reaping experiences wherever possible. Travel a great deal, record so far is 25 countries in one year. Perform classical recitals in a variety of situations from intimate Royal family concerts to cruise liners. Jazz, funk and soul electric guitarist; playing with a variety of bands. Composer for contemporary dance companies. Wrote a play while at University which became a set work for theatre students despite being unpublished. Now embarking on novel writing, treating language with the respect it should be shown as a tool and developing systems of narrative forged for the work in question and not sticking to thrashed out formulas.
I am interested in sincerity and depth, something gritty and beautiful - be it whimsical or brutal, claustrophobic or as free as can be. Words are wonderful and I am very excited about reading as much as I can here.
