Hello and welcome to my creative space where I weld together a jumble of creative writing, spoken word, story telling, music and food.

In the revolving door to the mania that is the hotel of my brain you’ll find this space similarly run. Sometimes i’m taking out the bins and working on literal root level activist projects. Sometimes i’m involved in foodbanks and creating fresh food in the kitchen for families in need. Sometimes i’m writing menu’s in the office and trying to raise funds for a worthwhile community project. Sometimes i’m serving tables and dishing out poems, hosting gigs, live events and stages. Other times i’m working as a writer, poet and performer with my solo project and main band project @Trandoshan Hunters and you’ll find me on the stage. I need a job and a sense of purpose wherever I go and it helps my mental health to use that sense of ambition and purpose to help others too.

It’s a wild world out there and i’m never in one head space for too long because I enjoy the challenges, I get bored easily and I want to make the world a better place.

Sometimes i’m also seriously in need of love and an outlet.

I’m available for all sorts of ideas and projects and happy to help promote and advise or help you on yours. Follow me on here and get invlolved with my You Tube blog and lets just see where it goes.

Last year I did an R & D with The Welsh Arts Council, Dirty Protest, Ty Pawb, Sun Inn, Magic Dragon and Llangollen Food Share on an idea around gig theatre and food poverty called HOW TO GROW. Following on from the support I gained from the Welsh Arts Council for my previous project PA GUR.

This was a lead on from working for National Theatre Wales TEAM in 2022 on A PROPER ORDINARY MIRACLE where I met three amazing and inspiration people and they deserve a shout out and thanks. Anastacia Ackers, Natasha Borton and Catherine Paskell. Three very generous, kind and hard working folk who work very hard for community and root level activities.

Fundraising for the next R & D of How to Grow has begun and the continued work with Fresh on the Net will hopefully see the first live event hosted by me for them since 2019!

HOW TO GROW

I’ve worked in Bulgaria with Dirty Protest at an IETM conference around the themes of artistic burn out and prevention in 2024 continuing on from the IETM in Denmark in 2023. I’m pleased to say this has evolved with a friendship and working relationship with groups in Germany and Bulgaria leading to a solo tour in April 2025 via Stuttgart, Zagreb, Belgrade, Sofia, Bansko and Veliko-Tarnovo with the people at TaM and In-Out Festival

IETM

I initially trained as a chef and during University and then COVID have fallen upon my trade as a means to help fund and pay my existence. It’s my other passion in my Jekyll and Hyde of creativity and I adore discussions around growth, provenance, free rambling, rogue picking, gardening, pickling, salting, BBQ, home brew, apple dooking, conkers and foraging.

I've helped in several community projects as a volunteer and as a paid participant for Llangollen Food Share under tuitilage of another community warrior Steph Mitchell. Teaching people how to create meals from scratch and use up ingredients that were destined for waste. A truly wonderful group who help people from all walks of life in all aspects of dealing with the world and they just care. A lot and do it with no judgement. A rare and beautiful thing.
