With The Beatles is now available. It is based on my interviews with Paul, George and Ringo, as well as looking at how the Beatle brand has developed since the group split in 1970. It is also the first full-length biography in nearly 20 years. So that’s everything from Liverpool in 1940 to their 2023 No.1 single.

I have just completed a feature on The Guns Of Navarone for Sensational Sixties magazine out now.

I have also written a feature for a Record Collector special on King Crimson. It's about their 3rd, and 2nd best, LP, Lizard.

Plenty of new old features have been added to my Archive section.

I have just joined Rocks Back Pages, so if you're a member you can see further examples of my work on New Musical Express and Melody Maker.
