Mark fell in love with music at age 10 when his uncle Peter handed him a box of rock cassettes, a love constantly nourished since. Unfortunately he suffers the same terrible affliction as his hero, Stephen Fry, he is tone mute, but appreciates music in all its forms. He hates the term genre, but does describe his tastes as eclectic.

Whilst enjoying new music, and old, Mark is a proud dad, obedient husband, and orthopaedic theatre nurse. His preferred footwear are slippers, and his alter-ego can be found on Twitter @lobsterbane
