About

I have a passing interest in astrophotography, landscape photography, good food, good coffee, good wine and cocktails done right. You’ll find me listening to fine music, looking up at dark skies in far away places and petting all good dogs.

I have a dog called Enzo and a wife called Jo. I like to play retro video games and my favorite food is homemade pizza.

Originally from the UK, I now live in Houston Texas, USA.

We Know How To Do It

There are some songs that immediately transport you to another time and place. A few opening notes, that unmistakable rhythm, and suddenly it's 1977 again. The dance floor is alive, the lights are low, and Enzo Goes To Titowood is providing the soundtrack. This is one of those songs, a wonderfully infectious piece of disco that captures the excitement, glamour and escapism of an era.

C’est Chic

Some songs have a way of taking over a room before you've even realised what's happening. A few unmistakable notes, that infectious guitar rhythm, a wonderfully funky bassline, and suddenly you're transported to a dance floor somewhere in the late 1970s. This is one of those songs, an irresistible disco classic that has lost none of its energy or charm.

Boogie Voogie

Some songs don't need to take themselves too seriously to become unforgettable. Sometimes, all it takes is an irresistible rhythm, a little charm, and a melody that refuses to leave your head.

Pomegranate Gimlet

If you are going to have a cocktail, have a good one! This is an update to the classic gimlet with pomegranate juice to add vibrancy to the flavor profile. It's a great drink for the holidays.

Mistletoe Martini

The Mistletoe Martini is ready for the holidays. A cocktail created to capture the spirit of the season. The Mistletoe Martini blends the flavors of cranberry and elderflower. Because it uses a light fruit juice instead of all heavy liqueurs, the flavor is refreshing.
