A long time ago, when I was just a young man, I was looking for a job. My search took me far and wide, until, one day I finally became discouraged. After drowning my sorrows with cheap Bulgarian wine I took my guitar out onto the streets of Durham, which is where I was studying at the time...
...Within moments I was surrounded with drunks, derelicts and merry-makers and after one hour had more money then I had dreamed possible. My search for a job was over...
...Well...Not quite....It took a few more years of sales jobs in dreary northern call centres, car insurance sales and many other places before I decided to dedicate myself full-time to the making of music in public....
It has been an incredible adventure and privilege for me these last few years to perform on the streets of England and in my spare time to write songs and poems...
Thank you to everybody who comes past and gives me their ear, and sometimes their small change. Without you people I couldn't do what I do. I also hope you enjoy my own songs...
Until we meet again,
Jonathan
