About Me

I was born in Luton, known for hat making, Vauxhall cars, London Luton Airport and a great football team who once beat Arsenal at Wembley in a Cup Final. I moved to Edinburgh in 1990 and now live in Leith, Edinburgh's 'waterfront'.

Married for 13 years to Louise (who is on day release from Fife), I have 4 children: Holly (aged 17) who lives nearby with her mother Clare, William (aged 16), Alice (aged 12) and Maddie (aged 5).

We live in a 215 year old Georgian house which looks like it hasn't been touched since the day it was built. We once had a note from an artist posted through the letterbox asking if our semi-derelict house was available to rent as studio space.

Current CNPS score: 989

Film Noir

We’re getting filmed on Monday!

Well, actually, the house is getting filmed. A small boy is going to walk up our steps, chap the door and walk into the house. In 1930. Or thereabouts. They chose our house because it’s the dirtiest, oldest looking building around which “hasn’t been done up yet“.

The last film made in our street, Jude starring Kate Winslet and Christopher Ecclestone, featured the church next door. Alas, no Kate this time, just a grubby wee boy in a cloth cap.

I’ll post some photos.
