Things I'm up to

Writing about gadgets and tech as an editorial contributor to the Financial Times’s HTSI magazine. Features for the FT, Telegraph and i paper when time permits. Basking in the afterglow of sold-out shows with Scritti Politti and Cardiacs in 2026. Copywriting for Information Is Beautiful and many others. Produced the latest album by Spearmint, and tracks for a new compilation album for Lush’s Handmade Sounds series. Podcast production for Job Shadowing HE. A monthly column for Prog Magazine. Performing with Scritti Politti, Spearmint and others in 2027 and beyond. Working on new music with 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.
