These are some of the people I've been over the last 25 years or so – click on image to view it at full size...

As you can see, at various times I've been John Candy, Santa Claus, Wayne Hussey of The Mission, Beach Boy Brian Wilson in his "sandbox" period, theatre directors Peter Hall, Ian Rickson and Polly Teale, and – briefly – Art Garfunkel.

(Yes, you may have noticed one of them isn't actually me, but I used the picture on a photo-I.D. card and nobody ever queried it, so I reckon it deserves a place here...)

Frankly horrifying, isn't it?

As for the rest of it...

OK, so the last front page had been up for several years and was beginning to look not so much quaint as antediluvian.  So here's a linktastic quasi-CV to replace it.  Some of the links are to bits of this site, some to elsewhere.
