Cosmo is the guitar-pickin' son of a lapsed Hungarian baron and a disinherited Scottish noblewoman allegedly descended from William the Conqueror.


A thirst for social justice and equality has been with him from an early age, encapsulated in the phrase: "If I can't live in a castle, no-one's living in a f*cking castle."


It's a theme that runs through many of his songs. Soulfully strumming the guitar while others tend to wish he'd just shut up, he also sings of dreary Sundays, bedsit philosophy, lost love on trains and small town acid trips. It's probably best not to mention his attempts to human beatbox and rap, though. So far, he's knocked out three CDs worth of the stuff and unfortunately for you there are more in the pipeline!!


He used to be the singer in one of the greatest 20th century confrontational political punk-funk-pop bands called Flannel ever. And he used to rap in local Cardiff headcases Pondlife MCs.


More recently, he has shared stages with Pete Doherty, Frank Turner, Chris TT, Altern-8 and Eat Static - and just about got away with it. He's also appeared at venues, protests and festivals all over the UK, (including Glastonbury and the Big Green Gathering), toured Ireland, Europe and South America, and appeared on various media outlets, (legal and otherwise), all over the shop.


These days he also regularly updates the poltico-musico blog www.freedomfortooting.blogspot.com


Cosmo has also been known to stand up for many unfashionable political causes.


This site, however, is dedicated to the most unfashionable cause of all, the one that is nonetheless dearest to his heart: himself.
