Damian Counsell: Personal

This page links to information about my family, my friends and me.

Family

When my mother, Clara, gave birth to me, she and my father, Greg, were in Nigeria, in Africa; but she grew up in Sierra Leone, my dad grew up in Lancashire, and I grew up in Tamworth---which, at the time, was one of the most hateful little towns in the Midlands---with my younger sister, Clare. Clare now lives in a pretty part of Derbyshire; I live in Brighton. She has a family of her own; I have a Website.

Friends

There used to be a collection of links here to pages of information about my friends, but I've taken it down because these pages were scoring too highly on Google in searches for their names. (One of my friends is a psychiatrist so it was also a security risk.)

Me

White poloneck, sandals and socks: I remain to this day a fashion leader

My name is Damian Counsell. I used to be a scientist, but now I make music, I take photographs, and I write. Say it loud: I'm beige and proud.
