Band Members: I got some people I work with. I give Alex Horne administrative support in popular stage shows. I combine with Tom Basden, Stefarn Golaszewski and Lloyd Woolf in Cowards. I give Mark Watson medical advice and act as a crutch in his overambitious longshows. I recieve direction from Phillip Breen, Griff and Dinky Donk. I get produced by Seb Barwell and Victoria Lloyd. I get musical accompaniment by Isy Suttie and Annalie Wilson. And me and Julian Fox throw out the odd Avant Garde bonanza as Eyeball. None of this would be possible without Danny Lewis and Marty Ball.
Influences: I like these things. They are a combination of films, books, music, people and miscellaneous.
