What’s all this, then?

I'm Darren, a writer who likes to muse about music, films and TV, plus conventions, toys, books, soundtracks and whatever else takes my fancy.

I don't have too many rules with this thing. The blogs take a few forms, from quick reviews and opinions to lengthier pieces on subjects that capture my mood.

Feel free to post comments, or you can contact me directly.

Thanks for reading.

Twenty years ago this evening I was at the Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth, for the second date of the Clam Abuse tour.

Lately I've been having dreams in which I kick someone in self-defence, which makes my leg swing out of bed, waking me up. Last night things got really scary, though: I was roused to consciousness by puffing my cheeks out - the result of an in-dream attempt to play a kazoo.

Bands! I am itching to shoot more shows. I'm reliable, very reasonably priced, and although I can't commit to full tours due to the day job, I can do a damn fine job of documenting an evening. London-ish. Hit me up! Friends, please RT if you're feeling kind! #forhire
