Stan started off life as a toptastic popstar in 80’s band – The Housemartins. Spent the last few years travelling the world with a ukulele, teaching kids to sing and writing travel pieces for assorted papers and magazines. These days his adventures mainly involve staycations around the UK, either walking his dogs, chugging along canals on narrowboats or bimbling round on a big yellow motorbike.
