Aside from writing an opinion editorial here on WNV, from my secret lair high in the mountains of Scotland, I have spent the majority of my 20s touring with bands after dropping out of film school due to what would best be described as a difference of opinion with some of the lecturers…
… Between then and now I have made music videos and feature length documentaries with the 60+ hours of footage I shot on the road and in the studio.
The whole time I was doing that, I worked in a bar, a job I continue to put myself through in the constant battle to pay the rent.
