About Me:
 
STEVEN WELLS or SWELLS as he was better known, has died from cancer. He was an inspiration to many as a writer, and to me personally as the other half of GOBTV. He will be massively missed.


Started making vids in the mid eighties. The first effort was the Fuzzbox "Rules and Regulations" promo. I've made about 80 since for all sorts: Wildhearts, Echobelly, Transglobal Underground, Ash, Sleeper, Skunk Anansie, Go Betweens, St. Etienne, Manics, PWEI, Primitive Radio Gods, Patty Griffin, Imperial Drag, Paul Van Dyk and many more. In the mid nineties I teamed up with NME writer Steven Wells, and GOBTV was born with the slogan "If it ain't broken, break it". Mostly work in TV now, but occassionally make music videos if I like a band, or someone asks. It has to be a fun project.
Occupation:
TV/Film and Music Video Director
Movies:
The Secretary, Lost In Translation, Cinema Paradiso, Once Upon A Time In The West, Betty Blue, Diva, L'Age D'Or,
Music:
Wildhearts, Patty Griffin, Nightingales, Ramones, Hawkwind, Mazzy Star, Rufus Wainwright, Killing Joke, The Clash, Go Betweens.
Books:
AA Gill Is Away, Tom Jones, Miss Lonely Hearts, The Outsider, Motoring in Norway.

I didn't know about the Go Betweens until Right Here right now ... at least I now know why the Hale Street link bridge will be named the Go Between Bridge - in the honour of the Go Betweens who in between took music in the 80's community - inter- nationally - some herstory or is it his-story? lol ... "thistory"!!!

God, I only just found out about Swells. He was a really big influence on me when I was a teenager back in the 1990s. It's made me really sad, it's a pity there aren't more guys like him around.
