Bio
Hello, I've been twanging a guitar for a living (well almost a living...) for 30 odd years now and I've enjoyed every minute of it.
The 'Sensible' material could possibly be described as highly melodic, occasionally anthemic pop...tinged with a dollup of melancholy.
But, for those of you who've not had the pleasure (fnar fnar!) let me tell you a bit about myself and my wonderful and occasionally bizarre music career..............
Well, after a few years punking it up with Johnny Moped and the Damned somehow I found myself on Top Of The Pops singing a showtune from South Pacific... 'Happy Talk' it was called (how could you ever forget!) and nothing was ever the same again.
As a former toilet cleaner for Croydon Council I wasn't going to tell the record label to stick all that dosh up their bums now, was I... so that's how I became the most unlikely popstar in Britain.
After 2 albums of (even if I say so myself) classic synth-pop on A+M Records - 'Women an Captain's First' and 'The Power Of Love' I left to record more indie sounding guitar based records like 'Revolution Now' and my cosmic rock opera 'The Universe of Geoffrey Brown' which I'm rather proud of.
These days I still perform with that lovable bunch of rogues The Damned - who are playing better than ever currently.... and also with Dead Men Walking... a punk 'supergroup' if you like, featuring Kirk Brandon, Mike Peters and Slim Jim Phantom - a real nice bunch of chaps each one bringing their own individual take on punk to the band... so that's gonna make for a very interesting album methinks!!
Growing old disgracefully.... and why not, burp!
Oh... and now I'm a politician, fronting Britain's latest sensation - The Blah! Party. It's all pretty anti establishment, as you'd expect. But the so called 'proper politicians' can sod off though - frauds, liars and warmongers the lot of 'em!

Yes playmates, it's your old chum Captain Sensible here with his own particular view of the World.
I'm gonna tell it like it is, which is no more than you'd expect from a purveyer of quality punk rock since 1976.
But having had such a long 'career' in rock n' roll.....does that make me one of the old farts we used to slag off so vociferously back in the day? Well, we never became boring drug fuelled stadium rock stars anyway.... but I HAVE had to loosen my belt a...
