very much against manual labour.

About Me

I'm a delicate flower really...I've never kicked a ball in my life,though I once did kick a girls handbag across a half empty dancefloor just to watch her scamper after it. I have never had a job, for I believe employment is the surest sign of poverty . Music, and the wisdom wrapped up inside it has navigated me through this life ever since I left grammar school... I no longer have a recording studio...it is now a music salon... and when i'm not there i'm in soho,or up the dilly at the wolseley enjoying high tea. I'd be happy to spend afternoons with other musician/songwriters/stylists/outsiders... but i'm happiest spending the evenings with roofers,builders,bouncers,gangsters and rough men who've been banged up in jail.
