I have been interested in popular culture and music, protest and survival, for as long as I can remember. I began writing, making music and other noise from an early age. Luckily I have continued doing these in various formats. I have been fortunate to have interviewed such individuals as Michael Stevens, John Murry, Cosmo, Chuck Prophet, Kieran Hebden (Four Tet), Gerard Malanga, Charles Plymell, Scroobius Pip, Joe Ambrose, Wes Race, Charles Stuart, Bob Frank, Tom Heyman, Marina Lutz, Heavy Load, Dan Stuart, Frank Rynne, Yony Leyser, Wayne Wolfson, Chris Salewicz and other writers, musicians, poets, protestors and artists.

I contribute to Outsideleft : WS Burroughs/Brion Gysin`s Interzone News : Wordriot : Brink : The Handstand : Even For The Hipsters, Hustlers & Highjivers : Jack Magazine : Mahmag : The Lazarus Corporation : Lit Kicks : 3 Bar Fire : WHL review : Maverick : Chiron Review & various other 'zines, websites, walls, papers and journals.

Some of my work includes; protestor, refuse collector, tour manager, co-running workshops on music and movement, musician, shop worker, punk, student, driver, general builder, brick-layer, managing an Elvis Presley impersonator, squatter, user involvement worker, sound system owner, media/PR work, creative writing & poetry.

Last count I have moved on average every 11 months but only ever owned 1 tent. I am always interested in collaborating on writing/multi media/sound projects. I have an ongoing 10 year+ collaboration with Dug Degnin; we splash the tiles and write plays/articles/short films/music/interviews and tell it how we smell it....

No bullshit # DIY ethics.
