Hi. My name's Parsley. Fly me to the Herb Garden.
I'm a Londoner and got featured in Time Out's 'London Lives' as an eccentric, because of my costume collection (which I have the guts to wear) and interest in cult TV. I'm involved with IT and websites (my company's website is at www.circa1media.co.uk). I'm also a musician and writer (my website is gardenrecords.com and I've written for BBC News and Den of Geek).
I model myself on Ed Straker in UFO, Batman (60's style - Adam West), Syd Barrett (founder of the Pink Floyd) and Prisoner/Danger Man John Drake.
TV music of Barry Gray and film music of John Barry inspired me. I play organ (usually Hammond), and occasionally bass or vocals. I've written and performed internationally and made records with bands you've probably never heard of, and produced music used in TV and films.
You can contact me via my website or by emailing me (parsley@gardenrecords.com - although be sure to reply to the automated response you'll get from my spam filter the first time you try!).
"You only get to appreciate what you do when you're not doing it," says bassist Rob Canning, slurping on a tea. "and now we're back, we're buzzing to go."
