Collaborators 6: Richard Vernon and Gareth Saunders

Over the last few weeks I’ve been writing a series of posts on people I’ve recently worked with, with particular reference to my Jesus is for Losers album.

So far, we’ve had:

Steve Lawson (bassist, improviser, teacher, writer)
Mark Hilditch (keyboard player, mad cyclist)
Iain Hutchison (engineer, producer, musician)
DUFI (photography, graphic design, spray paint)
and Phil Moir (drummer)

This is my final post in the series and there’s another couple of people I want to mention:

Firstly, my good friend Richard Vernon, who listens to my music before anyone else and tells me if it’s crap or not.

He also writes my press releases, including the ones for JIFL and the new album by my other band, The Trufflehunters.

Richard has also written some great articles for Sojourners magazine, his most recent being here.

So, if you need a good bio or press release written, get in touch with him here.

And lastly, Gareth Saunders, who has helped me on countless occasions with web design problems, computing issues and basically any time I wanted to punch my PC monitor in frustration.

Gareth is an Assistant Information Architect / Web Manager at the University of St.Andrews and is also a priest in the Scottish Episcopal Church. I don’t think many people can say that.

He helped me when I was designing my JIFL website (as well as other websites I’ve cobbled together over the years) and made it look much better than it would have done otherwise. He is a very clever and a very generous man.

You can read his blog here and follow him on Twitter here.
