Welcome to my Substack. Here I cover music and movies, London (old and new), photography/art, adventures local and further afield and much, much more.
Journalist, critic, author (and occasional DJ) focused on music, arts, film, photography, travel, record shops and social justice. Often taking the road less travelled, sometimes dubbed "Garth Forthright".
Idealism and angst, new experiences and awakenings, waiting for something to happen. Books, music, theatre, exams, girlfriends, dancing, hopes and dreams... 1984 as it really happened! Coming of age in Englandโs green and pleasant land.
