I began working with puppets as a child, I was the first cub scout in Northampton to win the new Entertainers badge, my ** minute slot became ** to the delight of the examiner. I made cardboard theatres & remodelled plastic soldiers ,cowboys, animals to act out epic productions...

Music took my time for many years ,until in **** travelling in Europe I made some rag puppets to tell stories, these were lost on my travels, but on return to UK I beagn work on new puppets, trying out various ways of making heads. I was now working at the Royal Theatre in Northampton & there "PETER PIPER PUPPETS" was born. We did a regular Saturday morning show with the adventures of Mr. Marzipan, the wizard & a host of magical characters. * Wizards, Animals, elves, goblins , with music and songs by myself and Roy Civil who was co creator of Mr Marzipan,. Although the piano on the Royal shows was played by the late Mick Knight, Roy joined me on some radio work & also the first Northampto Puppet Festival. I did some TV, Film & most of the schools in Northampton over the next * years until I put aside puppets in **** to concentrate on other artistic & spiritual things.

I made puppets again in the early **s, which I passed on to another company, I began to work on ideas & characters, shows, & designs for other puppeteers & performers until in **** , when I opened "SWEET WATERS CAFE". a musi/arts/party cafe in Northampton. There Puppets played an important role in entertaining at the many parties, the infamous Mr. Mopman, Mr. Moonie, Skimp, Bojit & Scarpa , plus other zany characters. I relocated to Morocco in ****, taking the puppets with me.

Then in ****, new ideas for shows & stories developed until Ali Baba came along , I always liked doing Aladdin & my love of Arabian Culture naturally has led me to explore the Arabian Nights Stories. I've not tried to recreate the stories identically, wanting to establish a modern approach .( The Goons, Monty Python , Harry Potter & Discworld ) Hence Arabian Nights Remix!

We struggled for a name for months, it had to be Arabish.... yet easy for a European Audience. then in December **** it came SIM SIM , means Sesame, nice!

Travel with us on a magic carpet ride to the radiant and exotic east, where you will meet a host of Wonderful, Colourful Characters...

Majid the fisherman ,& Jiniwin the Storyteller. in the remixed amusing tale of *MOST WONDERFUL ZINGS, featuring eccentric Doudy & Moudy , then Ali Baba & his wife Marjana & the ** FLEAS ! with a giant scorpion & the Dragon & his Son. the third story is a totally interactive ALADDIN.

I am working on Sinbad the Sailor , and also developing the stories & cast into T.V. & Film projects ,which I'd expect to do in different languages.

I create all the music Live & recorded , & include percussion play with kids.

ENJOY THE SHOWS!
