My music could possibly be described as overly melodic, occasionally anthemic pop...tinged with melancholy.

But, for those of you who've not had the pleasure (fnar fnar!) let me tell you a bit about myself and my wonderful and occasionally bizarre music carreer..............

Well, after a few years punking it up with Johnny Moped and the Damned somehow I found myself on Top Of The Pops singing a showtune from South Pacific... 'Happy Talk' it was called (how could you ever forget!) and nothing was ever the same again.

As a former toilet cleaner for Croydon Council I wasn't going to tell the record label to stick all that dosh up their bums now, was I... so that's how I became the most unlikely popstar in Britain.

After 2 albums of (even if I say so myself) classic synth-pop on A+M Records - 'Women an Captain's First' and 'The Power Of Love' I left to record more indie sounding guitar based records like 'Revolution Now' and my cosmic rock opera 'The Universe of Geoffrey Brown' which I'm rather proud of.

These days I still perform with that lovable bunch of rogues The Damned - who are playing better than ever currently.... and also with Dead Men Walking... a punk 'supergroup' if you like, featuring Kirk Brandon, Mike Peters and Slim Jim Phantom - a real nice bunch of chaps each one bringing their own individual take on punk to the band... so that's gonna make for a very interesting album methinks!!

Before long, every person of any fame will be legally obliged to strap a camera to their forehead that directly uploads on to Youtube. Grab your last private breath, Captain.

Good to see you delving into the worrying depths of youtube.
Have a good new year.

Ah.. The good captain, whose bizarre choice of head gear and songs are a statement equally as good as any made by 'A Flock of Seagulls' and 'Kajagoogoo'..

See you in Peterboro.. :)
