About Me

CURRENT MOON moon phase info I do like to laugh about life..The truth is always funny really..not what we would expect! I am technically endowed and can be deadly serious about all kinds of subjects but for fifteen or so years I have become an educator/ teacher in recording and mixing technologies. My experience in the music industry dates back to the mid seventies in a band called THE MONOS! and a little later than that another called Victims Of Pleasure..both bands were signed to major labels but sold little due to poor promotion so eventually I had to get a proper job and became a recording engineer in a tiny studio in Sydenham, South London,back in the days of eight track 1" recording. One of my earliest sessions was a band called AHA! but thats another story.... I am saving all the juicy details of this period and some other VERY INTERESTING stories for my book ..so keep tuned in to me.. it could get a bit doo daah!I have been around since black and white TV. 1966 World Cup.and Parade magazine ...10 no6[fags/ciggies]....got you friends -anyone want a fag... please! Soggy bicuit! Whipped away from one of my rightful owners at the age of seven, I misspent my youth in a shit hole village near Preston Lancashire but I escaped as soon as I could get a girlfriend to drive me back to good old London town.. Ive been here since then, God only knows why..I Live in the heart of the city now and I DO enjoy it immensely,apart from the traffic and the tourists and the congestion charge and the tubes and the buses and the the the....?. Iam painting again now and I think really this is why I enjoy life again.Some things one is just born to do and its been a long roundabout journey through the music business and the education system back to myself and my good old paintbrushes,jars of fluids, canvases,easels and pallettes.Marvelous...This slide show is from my daughter..her band RED n PINK .check out the tunes..they are massive.Watch out for these girls they gonna be BIG!

I'd like to meet:

Myself when I was seventeen. I could tell myself about all the wild adventures I would be going through and tell of all the pitfalls coming up..this would not be as good as all that cos I never listened to any one else at that age...but no one did understand...really,and there were some adventures and some massive pitfalls but it has all been a great learning,remembering experience and now I KNOW it was all good. NOW I would like to meet a wealthy person who would like to sponsor an artist.yeah right..who wouldn't , but thats a serious desire. You would be backing a winner, that's for sure. AND some beautiful ladies who would like to be painted naked or scantily clad. Its a little sideline for me top to toe in gold paint only FIFTY QUID!

Television:

DON'T WATCH THE NEWS It'll frighten you into doing it their way...DON'T YOU SEE THAT?!

Books:

My advice is to open them..read them and then stop when you reach the end. You might have to put them down now and then to eat and what have you, on the whole thats the best thing to do. Look at and download copies of my work from flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/artpriority

Heroes:

A GREAT song by DAVID BOWIE but really all the good bits are ROBERT FRIPP and that genius bloke who fronts KING CRIMSON...ADRIAN BELEW.. they are heroes..I saw them at Sheperds pie umpire and they played heroes as an encore! KING CRIMSON played a Bowie song .That blew my mind. and BRIAN ENO.

A short potted biography

Having spent the last 30 years or so devoting most of my time to the "music business" I decided enough was enough and it was about time I got back to the thing I really lovePAINTING.A good grandfather...
