Richard Cabut

Richard Cabut wrote for the NME and music monthlies Offbeat and Siren under the pen name Richard North, and as Richard Kick for Zig Zag and Alf Martin’s national glossy Punk Lives. The latter nom de plume was derived from his 70s/80s fanzine Kick. Richard also played bass and wrote the propaganda for the punk group Brigandage (LP: Pretty Funny Thing). He went on to write for several newspapers and media organisations, including the Daily Telegraph, Artists & Illustrators Magazine, The Big Issue, The Guardian, Arts Council England, and the BBC. Richard’s fiction and poetry has appeared in various magazines and books, including The Edgier Waters (Snowbooks, 2006). He lives in London, and works as a writer and ghostwriter.
