A few years ago, I did some blog-related work in Northern Ireland with Mick Fealty of Slugger O’Toole [my posts here].
The Political Innovation project provided a base to work on the think-tank funding watchdog Who Funds You site with a few like-minded friends.
I am also the whistle player for The Pogue Traders – a Pogues tribute band. We can be seen regularly playing all over London, and, occasionally, elsewhere in the UK.
