Sustainable Creativity for Placemaking and Festivities.

Since launching this website back in 2001, I've been a freelance creative working in Community, Arts and Events. My projects span a diverse range of social activities, from DJing and media production to community building using permaculture, maker craft, and sustainable technology development.

I'm passionate about exploring how we can utilise our available resources and technology responsibly and foster meaningful human connections in our rapidly changing world.

Events News

After an eventful summer, playing gigs in London and curating music for Global Grooves' Silent Disco at Chester Zoo, my focus is now on up coming celebrations for the Vale Arts 5th Birthday . I will be lurking in Our Space Gardens and closing the daytime activities with a set supporting our stilters and puppeteers (weather permitting). I will then be in the venue supporting the Bolongna Bridge Band from 7 til close. Get tickets HERE

September 18/20 sees me providing tech support for Ride Out Loud's peddle-powered soundsystem and poetry open mic sessions at Morecambe Poetry Festival, find us in the Library on Saturday and the Arcade on the Sunday.

London Friends won't have to wait too long before I return to the Magic Garden on the 27th November, more news on that soon.

I am available to DJ, have an ultra portable sound system and a wide range of tunes spanning the history of recorded music, from traditional folk and jazz standards through popular classics to cutting edge electronic sounds. I love to dance so infuse everything with a blend of rhythms and catchy melodies, and enjoy mixing the familier with the unexpected.
