About Me

Share ownership of a recording studio in Newport with Carl Bevvo and Bob JT Fengali Martin. We are trying to make a fantastic record inside it. So far so good.Loving: my little family, music, the studio, great albums that take you somewhere else, anything that can add to life without pissing on others, new experiences, things that naturally make perfect sense. Extremely tasty food. Playing bits of percussion for El Goodo. Colossal Squid.Not loving: ideologies or the cult of celebrity. The generation of fear from lies. Naturally allied with everyone stood on the outside who just wants to get on with their life. Parents who apparently have religious children, how's that then? It's not the kid doing it. People who's job it is to censor material. What qualifies them? Neo Cons. Imperialism. Immoral business interests. Pure selfishness. Alpha males. People who think they are cool and judge others by their standards. Over confidence. Call centre culture. organised religion & new ageism neither of which even deserve any capital letters. Sauerkraut. Constantly having to justify not eating meat. Lists.So, I seem to hate more things than I love. That is good, love is precious.If you feel the urge to use the studio then get in touch. All enquiries welcome. Unbeatable rates. Beer on tap soon. Hopefully Heineken. Who I'd Like to Meet? Click play to watch Frank Zappa go! Frank is dead, long live Frank!

My Interests

Playing Bass. Playing Guitar. Playing with things. Watching/listening to others doing the same especially with recording equipment and instruments. Some sport sometimes. Eating, drinking & occasionally smoking but not all the time - everything in moderation as my nan used to say.
