Sharks And Flowers

Let's keep this brief, as John Mellencamp said in his wonderful song called If I Die Sudden... I'll be writing about the life of a musician and the life of a writer. The main band I play with is an electric blues/rock trio called Russ Payne and the Shark Dentists (www.sharkdentists.co.uk). Almost everywhere we play, someone always asks (a) why we are called the Shark Dentists and (b) whether we are all dentists. The answers are: (a) no one can really remember any more (although we think that when the band started in 2007 the idea was that we wanted to sound as if we did something dangerous), and (b) no.

My main writing project at the moment is finding a publisher for a novel called Like A Flower... which is about life, death, love and gardening... and involves a few things that are more dangerous than shark dentistry...
