I was born in Ghana and I think that gave me a lifelong interest in other cultures and places - although I've settled in Wales the last 20 odd years and am glad to feel I'm home here if anywhere. I'm married with two children at home, and two older daughters living away. I'm passionate about environmentalism and social justice, and love to write and perform, including in my Cabaret (Cabaret Obscura), my band (The Newly Deads) and elsewhere.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

ONE!!? This year we completed a community owned wind turbine in Fishguard - yay!! Several more next year I hope. Oh, and in 2014 we launched our album "The Kingdom of Now" in LOS ANGELES - it was awesome!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, all of the above, shared experiences, language practice, cooking, renewable energy especially community projects (I'm an expert...), always happy to get instruments out for a jam...
