He's a great live performer, often with Barry Coope, and is part of the No Masters Cooperative along with Coope, Boyes and Simpson, Chumbawumba, Ray Hearne, Mike Waterson, the late Lal Waterson and others. He's a man of many talents, having been a journalist and now a theatre producer and director as well as a musician. (Nice chap, too.)
