Alan is a regular gig-goer who loves the buzz he gets from live music. He's been to see such
delights as The Cure performing in a pub and Rufus Wainwright at Hampton
Court Palace, as well as being party to the infectious enthusiasm of the
Hypnotic Brass Ensemble.
He makes an annual pilgrimage to Glyndebourne
for a dash of opera, and for a time he jointly ran a smashing club night
called PiE&MASH. By day he works on the website of a
political magazine, and is also a freelance blogger for MindReign.
Outside of work, sleep is one of his favourite past times. He can also
often be found shoehorning Simpsons quotes into conversations and
listening to the dulcet tones of BBC Radio 4 (all hail the mighty Charlotte
Green). A fondness for stationery, old maps and afternoon tea also
features. He's in thrall to the cult of Mac, and is more often than not
coveting the latest shiny, insanely great thing to have been launched in
Cupertino, California.
He tends to spend a lot of time thinking about time travel, due to Back
To The Future having imprinted itself deeply on his psyche. Passionate
about architecture - in particular art deco, and the creations of
Charles Rennie Mackintosh. According to some, he has the aura of an
Anglican vicar, and sports a chino-textured soul. Secretly, though, he
wants to be John Steed: urbane, effortlessly well turned-out, and
sporting a bowler hat at a jaunty angle whenever the opportunity
presents itself.
If you feel so inclined, you can find him on Twitter,
Last.fm and
Songkick.
