About Me

I'm an English adventurer, author and musician with a kind heart, silly sense of humour, a fondness for storytelling and a passion for all things subversive. Currently travelling the west researching a book on modern utopias, but normally I can be found pottering around my home town of Brighton. To keep myself busy I run a small publishing company called Cheeky Guides, front a fabulously twisted band called Oddfellows Casino and host a monthly spoken word night called the Catalyst Club where people can talk for 15 minutes about anything they're passionate about, (anything from chunky knit sweaters to Gurdjieff). Someone recently told me they found my main photo a little disturbing but it's not my fault if I suit a bit of eyeliner and fake pencil moustache is it?Websites below for those hungry to know more.
