About
the • gritty • nitty
I have a passing interest in astrophotography, landscape photography, good food, good coffee, good wine and cocktails done right. You’ll find me listening to fine music, looking up at dark skies in far away places and petting all good dogs.
I have a dog called Enzo and a wife called Jo. I like to play retro video games and my favorite food is homemade pizza.
Originally from the UK, I now live in Houston Texas, USA.

I’ll Be Gone
Some songs become so deeply woven into popular culture that it is easy to forget just how well they are written. This is one of those rare tracks. Instantly recognizable from its opening synth riff, it remains one of the defining songs of the 1980s - bright, energetic, and impossible not to sing along to.
Fou Fou Fou
Few songs have undergone a transformation as remarkable as Mad World. Originally written by Tears for Fears in the early 1980s, it was Gary Jules’ haunting piano-led interpretation that introduced the song to a new audience and revealed the quiet melancholy hidden beneath the original’s synth-pop surface.
Ends of the Earth
Originally written by Bob Dylan and later embraced by many artists, it was Adele's heartfelt interpretation that introduced the song to a new generation. Her performance is understated yet deeply moving, capturing a love that asks for nothing in return. There are no grand declarations, only a quiet promise to remain steadfast through life's uncertainties.
