Alan lives in Dorset on England’s South Coast. His first love has always been punk music as he cut his musical teeth on Stiff Little Fingers, The Clash, The Sex Pistols and The Ramones. He also has a love of rock bands like Thin Lizzy, Rush, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. On a more up to date note he loves bands in the folk-punk genre with The Levellers, Ferocious Dog, Leatherat and Frank Turner particular favourites. Both Alan and (luckily) his family, love music festivals and they can be found in a variety of muddy fields throughout the summer.
