Alastair was quite literally born to The Beatles' "Here Comes The Sun". His music taste and use of terrible puns have only gone downhill from there.

Alastair is a Creative Industries, Creative Writing and Creative Advertising graduate currently putting his education to good use as a freelancer, which is a lovely euphemism for "unemployable artist". While his primary passions are writing and audio production, he gleefully seizes every opportunity to dabble in other creatively rewarding (and equally unemployable) fields. Website editing, graphic design, risque morris dancing; right now, every possibility is worth pursuing with nauseating enthusiasm.

As of July 2010, you can find Alastair writing indie reviews for Rave Magazine, producing mediocre sketch comedy podcasts, and - through what could only be a shameful administrative error - serving as a co-host on 4ZZZ. He owns a 4.5 billion-year-old meteorite, and has been known to mention this at the least appropriate moments.

Up-to-date information on his current projects can be found at the misleadingly-titled alastaircraig.com.
