About me:

Writer and musician. Currently drumming for Fink. Have just published a highly exciting novel DEATH OF AN UNSIGNED BAND, telling the story of a desperately poor unsigned band who sell their soul to the devil... kinda thing... out NOW via Jonathan Cape in the UK... Previous one THE ALTERNATIVE HERO concerning, among other things, the early-nineties indie heyday: via Jonathan Cape in the UK and Knopf in the USA.

Who I'd like to meet:

Richmal Crompton, Guy Garvey and Russell Brand. The former to tell her how brilliant the Just William books were, the middle to have a pint with, the latter to give him a good kicking.
