You’re a distinguished photographer, but do you miss performing
on stage?
No I don’t really miss performing on stage, unless you’d like a song now?
You’re well known for your enormous amount of charity work,
what have you been up to recently?
I’m currently working on a comedy record to befit a Wirral and
Liverpool cancer charity next year and helping the Sally Army with
something.
What is your favourite photographic subject?
Everything. My camera tells me when to click the shutter. To me
photography is when a photograph has to be taken then its taken.
What’s the best image you’ve ever shot?
I’ve yet to shoot it.
Your twitter account indicates that you have a love of puddings –
what is your favourite dessert?
My favourite dessert at home is Mike’s Malteser Magic... mmm! For all
readers here’s how to make it. Get a glass, put vanilla ice cream at the
bottom, place maltesers on top of that, then add more ice cream and put
more maltesers on top and build it up to the top and then pour Baileys
all over, delicious. At restaurants I always ask for Crepe Suzettes, you’ll
never get them, but ask for them. My youngest son, Sonny, who is a
photographer in London was in Paris recently and sent me a photo with
the caption ‘I’ve found the Crepe Suzettes Dad!’ I love Crepe Suzettes
but try and get one anywhere!
Guilty pleasure?
My guilty pleasure is reading Wirral Life whilst eating Crepe Suzettes.
Do you prefer to eat in or out and what’s your favourite type of
food and your favourite restaurant?
I prefer to eat in as my wife does fab food, but when we eat out (out)
one of my favourite restraints is Nisha Katona’s Mowgli. Whilst I’m
eating her delicious Indian Street Food, I like to listen to her husband in
the Katona Twins, their guitar music is unbelievable, just like the food.
