My books include Led Zeppelin: The Only Way To Fly (2025), World Countdown: July 1966 – August 1967 (2025), Pressing News: British Music As It Happened (2024), Labyrinth: British Jazz On Record 1960 – 1975 (2024), Nick Drake: The Life (2023), Galactic Ramble (2019), Psychedelia (2017) and Endless Trip (2010).

I edit the occasional music history magazine Flashback and have overseen definitive reissues of many classic rock, jazz and folk albums.

I believe in thorough research, clear writing, and sharing information.

I co-founded the music marketplace and archive elvinyl.com, which launched in 2020 – a lot of the primary source material I have collected over the years can be accessed for free in the ‘eldorado’ section there.

I post about what I’m listening to here.

I occasionally blog here and you can read interviews with me here, here and here.
