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: 993

Film Premiere

Back in May I mentioned that our house was being used in a short film. Well, finally, tonight is the premiere at the Cameo and we’re invited!

It’s only a 15 minute short based on a true story but nonetheless it’s a professional production. Incidentally, as well as using our front door, they also filmed in the pend across the road, the same pend which was used in Jude. I wonder if our front door made the cut.

There’s a trailer which you can see on YouTube here.

Update: We did make the cut: our front door was in the opening minute of the film! And we appeared in the credits! The film was excellent and very moving. Poor Alice was reduced to tears, but she recovered at the party afterwards mixing it with the actors.
