- You're member of the European Juggling Association, what is it about? What's your work in it?
- Ex secretary, Uk EJA Representative, festival advisor to EJC 2002 Bremen and 2005 Slovenia
- Some time ago there was a discussion about Jason Garfield on rec.juggling. What do you think about him? What about Anthony Gatto?
- He seems to be an astounding juggler. as is Anthony. I know neither personally so can not comment on them other than admire their juggling.
- You're a streetperformer? Why do you like that? And where do you perform?
- I work anywhere I can get paid. I like it because it feeds me
- As member of the EJA, can you tell us something about the upcoming EJC in Carvin?
- It will be exactly the same as many other ejc's. and completely different. all at the same time. people go to ejc's for many reasons. to juggle. to relax. to holiday, to party. none of these reasons are affected by the country that EJC is held in.
- What country do you think, it's the greatest country for jugglers? Why?
- I would like to say the UK. maybe its because we have so many festivals. and maybe its because most of my social circle, and friends are through the british juggling festival scene
- What's the best convention you ever have gone to?
- All of them. although Karlsruhe BJC was cool. and bjc2k was good as well.

- Who ever I am watching at the time
- What does your family/friends say about the fact you juggle?

- How long do you practice (on average) ?
- Very little
- What are your aims concerning juggling?
- Have fun
- Who do you think goes to break the next world record, 13 balls? That will be about a long time?
- Not in the least bit interested. other peoples achievements are not interesting to me.
- Who do you think is 'the best upcoming juggler?
- I dont know. there are many. and people forget that there are huge parts of the world with no contact so tehre could be great jugglers no one has ever heard of. (or ever will)
- What do you want to say to all starting jugglers?
- You picked a nice hobby. have fun
