Other Stuff
I’ve acted in 3 plays during my adult life, and was the president of the Oxford University Jazz Society for a year (1999-2000), during which time I organised gigs by Peter King, John Toussaint, and Iain Ballamy.I was a committee member of the Leeds University Table Tennis Club, 2005-2006. I have occasionally contributed to the Oxford Student newspaper, and used to appear regularly on Oxygen FM, often drunk.
Since then I’ve given up drinking, and taken up writing, which I now do in different places on various subjects. I’m currently based in Leeds, where I live with my wife.
