Rhodri Marsden has his finger in many creative and media pies.
A journalist for publications including The Independent, writer of talks and books, keyboardist in Scritti Politti and Dream Themes, musical saw player, and prolific and entertaining tweeter with a huge following, he’s constantly generating new material and surrounded by creative people – but interestingly, doesn’t classify himself as ‘creative’.
Rhodri knew Chris Sievey, the man behind Frank Sidebottom, and played in the band supporting Frank’s act. We talk about Rhodri’s musical background and collaborators, his current projects, the importance of just making stuff, and what it’s like to be someone who likes an efficient system, yet who seems destined, like an inspirational Midas, to make creativity happen wherever he goes.
