I’ve been living in Marbella on and off for the past 30 years, having made the move from Stoke-on-Trent in the mid 80s, which was much of a culture shock for a budding 17-year-old Goth as you can imagine.

Since then I’ve been a Marbella based freelance editor and broadcaster, working with Sky News, Channel 4, BBC News 24, the Daily Mail and Daily Star. Currently I have three shows a week on Talk Radio Europe, a column in the Olive Press newspaper and am also Editor of Hot Marbella magazine, all of which means I’m able to bring you the good, the bad and the very, very ugly about what’s happening on Planet Marbella.
