Martin Gallagher
Martin Gallagher has never played for West Ham or England, nor had a number one hit single, but he has worked in the City for many years (for what that's worth). A life-long Londoner, he made the migration from east to west a few years back and is still trying to get used to the absence of fried chicken takeaways and the over abdundance of coffee shops. Martin is married, has two daughters, and is also interested in travelling, football and writing. He hopes to publish his first novel 'sometime in the future'.

In Bruges
Director/writer Martin McDonagh's dark comedy is by far the best film this year. The story mixes the menace of Sexy Beast with the political incorrectness of The Office, and stars Colin Farrell as a debutant hit man and comic revelation. more >>
