My bands and projects: Unnamed as yet; Mining a seam between Beefheart, Swordfishtrombones era Tom Waits with a Brit bluesrock undercurrent. We don't know where we're going yet, but we're having fun getting there. Played a gig as "Hands Of Joe", but our singer/poet went all Spinal Tap on us and it imploded - he's now gone off with the drummer (and the name). Watch this space!
