Hello there.

I fight aggressive mediocrity through music from the centre of a small island (but really, I am a musician, promoter, arts advocate, and researcher. I am from and live in Derby). I'm very easy to find, and like talking to people. I also made this site, so if it's broken please tell me.

My next gig is in London on 22nd Jan.

NOTE: In 2 months 1 day, I will be retiring from public performance. I made the decision a few years ago (2014-15). I will still make home recordings - you can hear them at (s)kin - and will be focussing my energies in working for the British/Irish jazz and improv communities.

(s)kin is raw, episodic commentary. I am remembering things. I am re-stating them for those who did not hear the first time. I am saying my unsaid and leaving them unpolished. There will be five recordings per month. Subscribe to (s)kin for only £15 per year.
