ABOUT ME

Bit of a nerd really.

Moved to Berlin in November 2010 to start work as an "artist of life" Lebenskuenstler - now run a concert evening, play piano for an improv troupe, sing and song-write, perform stand-up, translate, do the odd bit of accounting and generally enjoy all Berlin has to offer

PHILOSOPHY

Don't mess people about, be nice!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sung in a barbershop quartet infront of 500 screaming girls, worked in a chicken factory, played in a musical at the Edinburgh fringe, sung the national anthems before a baseball match in Toronto and Sunday mass in St Mark's Venice. Driven a steam locomotive, lived and worked for 2 years abroad. Fluent in German and bullshit (unfortunately the two aren't compatible)
