About

I am a sound engineer and writer of music. I used to work for BBC News work so I’m interested in news and politics and I used to travel a lot to wherever in the world things were most interesting.

I also sometimes work for a theatre company called Stan’s Cafe doing various artistic type things.

I live in Streatham in South London, in the UK.

The picture at the top of this blog is from a book that I loved when I was a child, This is London by Miroslav Sasek. The other ones I had were This is Munich and This is Venice. They were great books, combining travel writing, geography and a good dose of social anthropology. When I read them now, with my own children, they become history books as well. According to the Sasek site these books are now being reissued by some Italian publishers called Rizzoli. You can buy them from The Bookseller Crow on the hill, who imports them from America.
