About Me

I like 12th century troubadours, Marvin Gaye, the animal kingdom and the God Mercury. If they were in a band together, there would most likely be musical differences. Marvin, particularly in later life, was a drug addict - the troubadours all have wanderlust - Mercury's an egomaniac and due to the food chain, if you put the animal kingdom in the studio for any length of time, you tend to just end up with the carnivores (none of whom can sing). So it falls to me to try and reproduce the sound of these four elements as I heard them in my Birmingham bedroom at the end of the last century.

Whilst struggling with this magnum opus, I am also one fifth of Mr Hudson and the Library. Listen out for me in the lower octaves...
