About Me

Once a crazy kid - dubbed Captain Chaos by my good friend Dion due to our antics in search of Utopia across the length of England in the 80's, whilst embracing the free festival movement of that time. Have now mellowed into reflective hippy and (almost) repectable human. Loving (frustrated !) father to my beautifully talented daughter Mollie who is 14. I still live and breathe music in between my day job of being a shiny bum. I'm a wrong 'un from Wisbech "Capital of the Fens" (ahem) and now live in the sunny climes of the Gold Coast Ostraya. I have survived Leukaemia, am completly accident prone, love motorbikes, footer, bushwalking, tennis, playing pool, drumming and playing and collecting LP records. I am also very happy to have set up the official mysapce site my fave band of ramshackle space punkers "Here & Now". cor blimey - what an honour.
