Busby is a semi-retired architectural salvage dealer and unretiring writer of comic monologues, pantomimes and poetry. He is also the librettist and performing half of the geriatric tribute duo "Minge and Fackett" with their pianist, Vladimir Q Wildebeeste. Beside many ribald performances and recitals, the author has amassed a catalogue in his own right, of monologues and musings. Born in Birmingham's Balti Belt before the Balti was invented, Busby has lived the last forty years of his life in a leafy Warwickshire Parish, on a permanent building-site. His passions include village rugby, tennis, history, flea-markets, beer. An avid pork-pie collector.
