About Me

I'm a father of eight children. Four boys and four girls. They are all out in the big wide world, pretending to be grown up. I am immensely proud of all of them and deeply privileged to be their father. Whenever I have needed them they have been there for me and I am aware that not all fathers are that lucky.I believe family is everything (although a little more money wouldn't go amiss) I have no time for anybody's Gods or religious ideas. People are welcome to them, but please, leave me out of the loopy loop.I think the world would be a very dark place without popular music and listen to it endlessly.We can, if we try hard enough and really want it to happen, make this world a better place.

My Interests

Music, Football, my grandchildren, the night sky,

I'd like to meet:

My dead mother and ask her what it's really like. And why didn't I ask her more questions before she went.Wilfred Owen, for similar reasons.I met Jimmi Hendrix once...that was cool.As many really rich people and ask them why they are not doing more.

Music:

The One Day Speakers a band from Edinburgh with the strangest looking singer in the world. They are going to be big. Jim MacAllister's great tunes which compliment my amazing lyrics and ought to be heard by a world wide audience.

Heroes:

My children who have survived their childhood and come up smiling.Mandela and Ghandi and anyone who tells it like it is.
