SOULKISS

 1960 - 2009 (very much alive and kicking)

'Soulkiss' is my internet name. Before you is a personal journey through my life as a child, young punk, new romantic and beyond. I am in the process of writing my memoirs, with the working title of Soulkiss - The life and Groovy Times - My search for Nostalgia, but it's taken a back seat due to the phenomenal rise of my other web site which I edit. (more below) www.mudkiss.com

 I've assisted with a couple of interesting things over the past few years:

'Eric's' (All the best clubs are downstairs, everyone knows that ) written by Jaki Florek. (find it here)

'Tattoo Soup' -  A collection of some of the world's finest tattoos. I feature on P22. (find it here)

John Robb's new book 'The North Will Rise Again - Manchester Music City 1987 -2008. I have a small section on p159. (find it here)

I was one of Johnny Deluxe's '100 Punks' in his art exhibition (here) and I officially made it onto the famous Blitz web site by Danillo Mozilla. (here)

I assisted the art department for a short movie called 'Love You More' which was featured at Cannes Film Festival in May 08 and nominated for a Bafta Award 09. Name in the rolling credits ;-)

'LOVE YOU MORE'
Caroline Harvey, Sam Taylor-Wood, Patrick Marber (15mins)

I started a web site in June 2008 and venture with Lorraine Reeves. Interviewing and reviewing gigs across the UK and Barcelona with several good online friends. The Mudkiss Fanzine web site. Check us out at http://www.mudkiss.com/ 

And whilst your there get my book of Interviews 2008 (50 interviews + ) taken from the site.
