Stuart was brought up miles from the nearest lampost, deep in the Dorset countryside, but now lives in the urban sprawl of the Medway towns in north Kent.
He isn't an angry person, but sometimes he might sound it.
Stuart was once described as being "like a young Howling Wolf stuck in the body of a pasty ginger kid!", and while this isn't quite true it's something to aspire to. This is blues for singer-songwriters, songs for blues singers.
His first solo album 'A Gallon of Water Makes A Mile of Fog' is being released on Sun Pier Records, (distributed through Cargo Records) on Monday the 29th October 2007. A second album is under construction.

I have just returned from a travelling jaunt around the Portuguese island of Madeira and thought you may wish to savour my high-res memories.
It's a beautiful island with a wide range of landscape and climate for such a small place. I tried to capture the flavour and essence of Madeira in my photos whilst hopefully being creative with my snapping.
Simply go to my pictures section and click on the album; 'Madeira'... and here's a sample:
