ABOUT ME

I'm interested in literature, philosophy, music, art, politics etc. Blah. I've been writing novellas and short stories for the last few years, and have been lucky enough to get quite a few published. I'm also part of an art collective called 85A, with whom I have (among other things) written an opera for machines, turned a whole building into a submarine, travelled the UK festival circuit, and produced a feature film: all good, weird fun. I play some instruments, mostly strings: guitar, mandolin, bouzouki, violin (badly), bass, sitar, etc. I also really enjoy cooking and baking, and am a brewer - I mean, i've put together and run a little micro-brewery in a warehouse.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode a camel through the Thar desert once - that was pretty cool.
