Biography

I've liked reading poetry since school days. I have written a lot of non-fiction articles and have decided to write some poetry for a change. Before becoming a writer I was working in music for over 20 years. The lyrical side of creativity was present there. I still play but not as much as I used to. I am very keen on learning and playing traditional music now, especially from Wales. Living in Ceredigion has sparked my artistic inspiration in new ways. It will be interesting to combine my love of words with my music in performance once I have written a repertoire of poetry to match my music. My other interests include - outdoor pursuits, history, gardening, photography and nature.
