About Me

Ouch! That shit was SO out of date. It's gone now. Something else will be along to replace it soon enough. Like buses. You don't know you want one and then one turns up. Happens every time.

My Interests

Writers of darkly comic fiction and people who like reading it, people who make, listen to and get excited about folk music in all its many forms and people who want copies of the two Dipsomania Records seven-inch singles!
