About me

Proudly 63! Since living in Spain for four years, I've returned to London and have been doing some freelance writing, as well as roots reggae DJing. I have a monthly 'world reggae' show on Soul Roots Radio and I'm currently promoting a series of creative writing courses in the community (or online). Please don't hesitate to get in touch.

  Vinyl Reggae DJ with Vinyl Sisters, Deptford Dub Club and othersI'm a member of the Vinyl Sisters collective, and guest DJ with various others such as the Deptford Dub Club, Heritage at the Bricklayers Arms (London SE23) and, until recently, with the Reggae Street band when they had their residency at the Fiddlers Elbow in Camden Town. Always open to new invitations - I mainly play roots reggae, rocksteady and a tiny bit of dancehall.
