About Me

Well then - vehemently anti-religious, intolerant of intolerance (particularly of the religious variety!), left field, opinionated, passionate about music, fondness of laughter, lover of a good rant.Raised in the Highlands of Scotland and a fluent Gaelic speaker, I left home aged 9 for successful careers with the Stranglers and Run Rig. A life long battle with solvent abuse didn't prevent completion of the Munros (Scotland's mountains higher than 3000 feet) in 2002. After successfully exposing the sordid illicit affair between Cardinal Thomas Winning and Brian Souter to rabid scottish tabloids in 2004, I was awarded an honorary Doctorate in Musical Fascism from Glasgow University. Today, I live in leafy sophisticated Partick working 18 hours per day on my next piece of non-fiction 'christianity, the fucker of all religions'.
