After playing guitar for a very long time in various bands I caught the writing bug. Much to my surprise, some success contributing to BBC radio sketch shows led to a comedy book being commissioned by a mainstream publisher. Now, when not writing and (still) guitaring, I can be found on the golf course. Incidentally, I won't be wearing lime-green trousers, a pink diamond patterned jumper or tartan bunnet as I am not a character from a 1980s sitcom.
