Sebastian Clayton is our London correspondent and will report on all things Irish, English and international for the Tonic News. His weekly feature will appear every Thursday right here.
He has worked for Tonic since the beginning and always looks for the good and never the bad - except when people shorten his name.
Music/Design/Art/Nature is his main driving force through playing, composing, listening and seeing -- and everything is an experience to Sebastian.
He never remembers a name but always a face. He loves food and is a vegetarian (except for for fish, chicken and black pudding). Sometimes Sebastian can take a little toooooo long........ but always worth the wait.
