Things I'm up to

Writing about gadgets and tech as an editorial contributor to the Financial Times’s HTSI magazine. Bits and bobs about the world of tech for The National. Copywriting for ReMake and many others. Producing a new album by Spearmint, and tracks for a new compilation album for Lush’s Handmade Sounds series. Monthly column for Prog Magazine. Playing with Scritti Politti in 2023 and beyond. Playing with Sweet Billy Pilgrim in 2023 and beyond. Working on new music with Kenny Process Team, Lost Crowns, and an album of 101 Classic TV Adverts. Oh, and I wrote, recorded & released a disco album about Brexit which (incredibly) reached the UK Top 75, and a follow up which didn’t.
