About Me

I am into all sorts of music from Indie, rock, funk through to trip hop, and hip hop.I played in a band in Bristol in the late 80's - The Magic Roundabouts - [Hello anyone who saw us!] but decided my talents were not great enough in that department to make a career in music as a musician. I moved to London and found my way into music as an inhouse lawyer first at EMI Records then Chrysalis Records, then EMI again after they bought Chrysalis and today back at Chrysalis Group working for their label Echo and their music publishing company Chrysalis Music.I like going to live music, eating and drinking and playing guitar. Enjoy all arts and culture so am into theatre, film, art and music...

Television:

Don't watch a lot to be honest but have to say Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Office and Extras all go down well with me. I find radio ends up taking up more of my time

Books:

Haruki Murakami, Douglas Coupland, Ali Smith, Martin Amis, TC Boyle, Ian McEwan - All of these authors are so readable and inventive - Pah to your Dan Brown's and your John Le Carre'sCurrently loving T.C. Boyle books - The Road To Welville, East Is East and The Tortilla Curtain all recently read and brilliant. Currently reading Water Music which is hilarious and seedy and adventurous and scurrilous.
