   Currently I run two theatre companies 'Bristol Experimental Theatre' and 'Motely Theatre'. Over the years I have written and staged twenty nine of my plays with different companies which have been performed all over the country. I have been writing and performing poetry since the mid sixties and recently published a poetry book 'Lovely Nonsense' which seems to have great appeal as well as a book of short stories called 'Minor Works'. I live in Bristol and have four delightful children and a wonderful partner called Claire. During the course of my career I have run two Arts Centres and run numerous festivals and community projects.

Poet Said, by Poetry Ireland in 1997.
