Books, broadcasting, performing and music are my creative pursuits and I feel blessed to be able to make a living from them. I've made a dozen or so radio programmes for the BBC and won a Sony Award for Radio 3's The Haunted Moustache. I give talks and perform solo shows on subjects ranging from utopias and trickery to ghost villages and the Moomins. A recent show, The Cult of Water explores the folklore, magick and history of the river Don.
I have co-presented and produced the podcast series’ The Odditorium, Watling Street, Ways of Water and Seeker! The Ken Campbell Podcast. My latest podcast series is Adventures in Nutopia.
My books include The Haunted Moustache, The No9 Bus to Utopia, The Odysseum, The Odditorium and The Singalong-A-Wicker-Man Scrapbook.
I’ve released twelve albums with my band Oddfellow's Casino which get woefully overlooked (though we do have a cult following in Estonia!). A friend once described me as 'a one-man cottage industry'. I kind of like that.
Coming up in 2024: a new album from Oddfellow’s Casino, The Lewes Psych Fest Sessions; a book collaboration with Philip Carr-Gomm, Sacred Sussex, and a new BBC R4 Archive Hour – A Pepper Up the Backside of Society, first broadcast on April Fool’s Day.

“The Haunted Moustache is a genuinely marvellous demonstration of how beautifully the mechanism of reality functions, if you're paying sufficient attention. Neurologically, this will light you up like a Christmas tree.”
