I love science. Always have. But you can't do much serious science in a shed. I tried. So through my boyhood, art grew strong at home while I wrung as much science as I could out of my schooling. Science turned me first into a chemist then into a medical researcher. At the same time I had exhibitions and I signed my first recording contract. So art had competition. And inspiration. Science took me to London. London led me to journalism. Art smouldered, Brighton reignited it and the science and the music and the words and everything else are fuelling it. Art can grow in the most hostile environments. Challenge from adversity and reality beyond art only make art richer.
