My areas of creativity are centred around live entertainment and video production. I write for the stage, photograph theatrical productions, and have recently set up a Digital Video filming and editing partnership with Maurice Thorogood

So when and why did I begin to write?
What was the inspiration that finally released the verbal flow?

Writing has been a great hobby for me for as long as I can remember. Childish scribblings gradually evolved into a ceaseless stream of stories and diary-keeping. These early literary gems disappeared many years ago in the process of what is laughably called the "growing up" process. I didn't realise at the time just how important it is to preserve jottings, notes, stories and diaries. For the youngsters out there who commit their thoughts, aspirations and imagination to paper, I would offer one piece of advice.

NEVER throw any of those seemingly unimportant compositions away.
You'll only live to regret it!

It wasn't until I was about to turn 40 that I finally found someone who unwittingly provided me with an outlet for my writing. I went to see David Essex in concert at London's Royal Albert Hall. Less that two years later, I started to plan the production of a magazine devoted to David and his career. Imperial Wizard magazine became the realisation of a writing and publishing dream. I produced and circulated it single-handed from mid-1986 until the end of 1997. Since then I have issued the occasional Newsletter for fans whenever there has been anything new to report about David's current career moves. This Newsletter is now available here, and is updated regularly.
