Bio
"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." Welcome to the Bronze Age of Punk! In 1978, a crack rock and roll band was sent to prison by a military court for musical crimes they didn't commit. These people promptly escaped from a minimum security, stinking rehearsal room to the Edinburgh underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as a covers band of (mis)fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them (although the pub would be a good place to start), maybe you can hire...

Hey there,
Here's one from left field...
Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:

Help to raise awareness.
Say have you checked out my web site recently?
Take care and keep in touch.
Best,
Faber.
