Raised by wildebeest in Adelaide’s deep south, my aural diet for the first ten years of life consisted solely of Boney M, Neil Diamond, Anne Murray and Tom Jones. A chance encounter with Roy and H.G.’s This Sporting Life circa 1990 put me onto JJJ and the world of alternative music which has seen me embrace virtually every musical genre since, except nu-metal – which has always sucked.
I can be found out 2-3 nights a week at gigs in Adelaide, more often than not with a camera in my hand.
If you see me, come and say hello, I am generally good conversation.
I am also the SA editor of FasterLouder.
