Retired design educational, musician (read failed rock star) and emerging grumpy old man. Have now given up gigging as it is, to me, unseemly for a man of my age to be standing up singing pop songs. Im no Brucie.

Currently compiling a coffee table book of the remaining mine structures in the county. No one will of course publish it 'cos no one can afford to print/ buy a 540+ page A4 full colour tome. keeps me busy tho'.
