| Introduction | I was born in Manchester in the UK in 1970 to musician parents Alan and Rowenna Western and learned to play piano whilst at school. In 1982 I emigrated to Brisbane and got interested in photography as well as taking up playing guitar, violin and trombone in high school (Padua College). I have been doing songwriting since 1986, and in 1990 got involved in the naturist movement in which I have contributed articles and letters to Australian Sun & Health and The Australian Naturist magazine. I work with the Brisbane bands The Busymen as manager, as well as playing guitar in d-Wizz 2.0 and working on my own solo band focused on 70's glam rock and a concept band called Laissez-Fayre. |
| Interests | Music, songwriting, life drawing, photography, progressive politics, spirituality, nudism, naturism, natural therapies. |
| Favorite movies | I'm not much of a movie buff as such, although I generally like comedies, nudist exploitation films from the 50's and 60's, rock music movies, and some avante-garde arty stuff that nobody aside from a few acid heads seems to like or understand. |
| Favorite music | The Beatles, Sparks, U2, Rolling Stones, Sex Pistols, The Sweet, Mud, Suzi Quatro, New York Dolls, Morrissey, The Smiths, Talking Heads, Madonna, Prince, Earth Wind & Fire, Regurgitator, The Veronicas, Powderfinger, Savage Garden, Roxy Music, Eskimo Joe, The Busymen, The DangerMen, The Nudists, Pineapples From The Dawn Of Time |
| Favorite books | Anything that's got words put together and makes sense, I'll read. |
