Electric Guitar Player and Singer. He of Oceansize, Cardiacs, Empire State Bastard, Vennart The Band, British Theatre and other things of that nature. Recently diagnosed autistic which explains a lot.

Belated thanks and love to @primavera_sound for having us officialcardiacs perform at their wondrous festival. I do believe this was Cardiacs’ first non-UK trip since 1998. It was a hot, sweaty blast. Next up, @arctangentfestival … after that… literally no one knows. Don’t fucking miss it.

Had the pleasure of having our daft Black Sabbath covers band introduced by ACTUAL STEWART FUCKING LEE. Literally the funniest man this shithouse country has ever produced. Thank you Bearded Theory Festival!

"I’m a huge Oceansize fan. When I heard this record on Mike Vennart's YouTube channel, I just couldn’t believe it – it was just unreal. They got even more amazing and insane." Fire-Toolz on Oceansize - Self-Preserved While The Bodies Float Up buff.ly/D1P0pLm

My goodness. I shall be performing for the 7th time at the simply wondrous Arctangent Festival alongside Primus, Igorrr, High On Fire and those scamps Alpha Male Tea Party. Tickets are LOW. Get in about it. X

2026 then - the doctor insists there be less cheese and less booze. More tunes, then. More nice things. Less bullshit. One must try to be more forgiving, but everyone else needs to meet me halfway and be less of a throbber. Peace, love and vegan cheese. X

'Akin to a wilder Gentle Giant, had they been inspired by Arnold Schoenberg, Anton Webern and Conlon Nancarrow, instead of medieval and baroque chamber music.' Lost Crowns - The Heart Is In The Body is No 39 in tQ's in The Quietus AOTY 2025 Chart buff.ly/24QyW4x

I’m raising money for my friend, Micah. He’s currently in the ICU fighting for his life. All my Bandcamp sales this week will go towards his healthcare. New live album available. Go Fund Me link in comments.
