I used to tour manager very successful bands in England and Europe and the USA. I have been a writer for the last thirty years. I have a published book in English, German and Japanese, called YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT. I have lived in England, the USA, Ibiza (Spain) and Australia. I am an Australian citizen.

Interests

• i am interested in art and in writing

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite rock n roll musicians are The Rolling Stones, The Grateful Dead and The Band, but I have wide musical tastes including Flamenco (Paco de Lucia) African music (Fela Kuti) and classical music and opera.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I organised the largest paid admissions show in the history of popular music with 620,000 people at Watkins Glen in upstate New York. I am now in my seventies but have the approach to life of someone who is a teenager! (much laughter) I love life and music .. it keeps me young!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a qualified (TEFL) teacher of English as a foreign language and am happy to share with people what I know about art and literature, writing, guitar playing, and music.
