Many years ago, I was in a number of silly bands, almost all with silly, stupid names :
Collapsed Lung, Pregnant Neck, Slug Balancer, Eden Sore / Roachmill. More recently, was a member of Junior Blanks , and occasionally make exceedingly silly dance music alongside Sgt Rock as one half of Kicks & Rock, and have been playing bass for Keith John Adams .Used to be a Studio engineer / producer, based in Stoke Newington, London.
Still a partner in a small studio called The Cooler , and also an occasional engineer at Gizzard Recording in Hackney Wick, although that's becoming less common.
Why? Because I'm now the full time studio manager at a university in Buckinghamshire. I've moved to flat above a launderette in Flackwell Heath, Buckinghamshire, near High Wycombe. It's quiet, but I can't complain - as I didn't go out much when I was in London anyway.Some of the bands / artists I've worked with over the years :

Mclusky, Bis, White Town (remix on the b-side of a no.1 single, astonishingly), Fatboy Slim (he sampled something I did, so I'll take credit wherever I can get it), The Violets, Spearmint, Ten Benson, Montana Pete, The Beale, The Spores, Minxus, The Knockouts, The Sweeney, HOST, Brave Captain, The World On Fire, Martin White, Sarandon, Telley, Keith John Adams, The Treliks, Gillian Wearing, Frigid Vinegar, Kefranski, The Woodsmen, Thumpermonkey, Klaxons, Incredible Melting Man, The Freestylers, Shut Up & Dance, Kerphunk, Jean-Jacques Smoothie, Kicks & Rock, Junior Blanks, Sgt Rock, Bear, Maxton Grainger, Father Of Boon, Gunshot, Killa Instinct, Silverkick, Mild Mannered Janitors, Flickernoise, The Liberty Cage, Crazy Gods Of Endless Noise, The Keatons, Badgewearer, Girls Girls Girls, Ben Jurassik, New Adventures..., the mighty Fergus Hilton.
