About Me

I am lucky enough to play play in the dark lovely group The Rum Circus and dedicate my life to the pursuit of the perfect song.

My Interests

Art, nature and love. Animals. Touching animals. Whimsy and whimsical pursuits. God I love whimsy.

I'd like to meet:

Romantics and cynics and noone inbetween.....I am a writer so I have no perceivable sense of reality and generally live in a ridiculous and idealised fantasy world where there is a movie soundtrack running to my every chore, and dramatic close ups every time I pay the water rates and so on....That means I would like to meet the grumpiest people known to man and the most sensitive also. Passion and love are the only drives worth having. Would kill for half an hour in the company of: Frida Kahlo, Peter Cook, Che Guevara, Andre Breton,John Lennon, Hunter Thompson, Bill Hicks, Tallulah Bankhead, Trotsky,Quentin Crisp. Still time enough to meet: Castro, Nick Cave, Patti Smith, Bowie,Marquez.

Music:

Bowie Leonard Cohen Nick Cave Jeff Buckley Patti Smith Elvis Costello Rufus Wainwright Lennon Stravinsky Stones Marianne Faithfull Minuteman PJ Harvey Scott Walker Ella Fitzgerald, Dylan Japan Nina Simone Beatles Mick Ronson Simon Warner early Elton Kurt Weill Jaques Brel Johnny Cash Elvis Magazine Science delta blues Antony And The Johnsons John Barry and classic film scores modern classical modern jazz swing gypsy and folk music. Most music infuses and inspires to be honest. There isn't a great deal I don't see something in. Oh except death metal. That just makes me feel old and deaf...

Movies:

Any David Lynch, Marx or Cohen brothers. Any Truffaut or Godard or French new wave. Any Kubrick but mostly Dr Strangelove Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas The Producers Wings Of Desire classic movies and anything with these cats in: Marilyn Monroe, Katherine Hepburn Cary Grant Jack Lemmon Rock Hudson Tony Curtis Kirk Douglas Bette Davis Audrey Hepburn Sophia Loren Peter Sellers Peter Cook Woody Allen Gene Wilder

Television:

The Simpsons Curb Your Enthusiasm Mighty Boosh Seinfeld Twin Peaks I love Stephen Fry even though he'll appear on the opening of an eyelid, so QI Six feet Under Nathan Barley and everything Chris Morris does. I am currently and guiltily addicted to Lost although the plot's is in the title,kids, so I don't know why I'm watching...

Books:

100 years Of Solitude and Of Love And Other Demons (Gabriel Garcia Marquez) Under The Volcano, The Trial, The Master And Margarita, Wonderland Avenue, House Of Spirits, Billy Liar.Mad Love by Andre Breton. All the good work Hunter S Thompson set to paper. It's all genius. Really.

Heroes:

Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Frida Kahlo, David Lynch, Cary Grant, Peter Cook, Hunter Thompson, Patti Smith, Tallulah Bankhead, Nick Cave. Too cool for school.
