 | Simon manages a team of youth work staff for a Scottish local authority. He is a Director of Generation Youth Issues and on the Board of Play Scotland. Currently, he is also studying for a PhD in Community Education at the University of Strathclyde- the subject being focussed on how past childhood experiences contributed to emerging selfhood in young people. In August this year Simon organised a charity swim between Islay and Jura in aid of the RNLI - all swimmers survived. In what little spare time remains, Simon chases his 5yr old son and 20 month old daughter about and plays football averagely. |

Ivan Hewett, music critic, Daily Telegraph
