Writing

Journalism:
Since first interviewing the lovely Dave Gorman for Fused Magazine at the end of 2000, I've had around 500 articles published, mostly about comedy or classical music for four regions of The Metro.

Most of these take the form of 250 word previews, but I've also been lukcy enough to interview many comics including Perrier Award Winners Tommy Tiernan and Jenny Éclair, Phil Kay, Boothby Graffoe and Susan and Janice, and from the world of music, Lady Walton (widow of Sir William Walton), Claude-Michel Schonberg (composer of Les Miserables and Miss Saigon), Opera Impressario Ellen Kent and godlike genius and ex-Beach Boy Brian Wilson.

Here's a small selection of articles I've had published for your downloadable viewing pleasure: Adam Hills, Addy Borgh and Sean Percival, Baxxter, Hidden, Johnny Vegas, Marcus Brigstocke.

Fiction:
Tho I haven't written any for years, I've had a couple of short stories published in fiction magazines both in the UK and the US. I tended to use the short story form to explore some of the darker ideas meandering around my mind, so be warned if you come across one, its not exactly upbeat stuff! When my PC crashed last year I lost the electronic versions of the the stories, but I'll type one up sometime for your delectation.

TV:
A friend and I have recently finished the synopsis of our first TV project and are seeking a development deal to take things further.

Books:
Some books I've particularly enjoyed lately.

Scepticism Inc - Bo Fowler - a brilliantly funny take on religion, philosophy and betting.
The Selfish Gene - Prof Richard Dawkins - Its like he's the first person to really think through Darwin's amazing revelations.
