I describe myself as a ‘BBC,’ a British Born Caribbean. My family are from around the Caribbean region including Guyana, Guadeloupe and Barbados.

I worked for the BBC as a radio producer, website producer, broadcast journalist; and as a photographer in Antigua, Barbados, Dominica, Guyana, St.Lucia and Trinidad for education book publishers.

I also worked for the NHS, the Further Education Development Agency (FEDA), as a librarian for law firms and public libraries, an English language teacher in Hong Kong, Hungary, Japan and Thailand, as a website producer for schools and universities, and co-owned an independent music company called Waaaah!/Bring on Bull.

1973 and Me is about my life as a young schoolboy born into a Caribbean family in 1970s Britain alongside a string of events which happened that year. These include the 1973 West Indies cricket tour of England.

They Gave the Crowd Plenty Fun reflects on events that influenced the development of the social impact of cricket on British Caribbean communities from the arrival of the Empire Windrush onwards.
