Two albums have managed to be released that I've recorded with songs I've written. 'Entertaining Hans Sachs' and 'Gone John' And another I recorded with Hans de Lind van Wijngaarden, 'We are the Travelling Sardines' - 'Sung From A Can' is as yet unreleased. Unfortunately we are both too caught up and too broke to release it

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4
