About MeHello and welcome to my website. My name is Jyoti Mishra. According to my server stats, there’s an 83% probability you’re viewing this page because in 1997 I had a brief flirt with fame when my band, White Town, had an international number one hit with my song ‘Your Woman.’ You can find out plenty of detail behind what happened then in some of the rants on this site. Though I’ve left out the bit about EMI reducing me to crying in the bath. (You can listen to and buy all my non-EMI stuff by clicking here!) I was born in India and moved to Britain with my family when I was three. We moved around a lot when I was young and I ended up in Derby at around the age of ten. I was the annoying know-it-all kid at school, a title I held alongside fattest lad. I left school at 16 specifically to go on the dole and join a band. I’ve been a songwriter since then. I became a revolutionary Marxist in the ’80s, via the orthodox Trots known as the Militant Tendency. It was the best education I’ve ever had. Nowadays I tend more towardsu0026hellip;

Freezing Day In Derby

Today was absolutely bloody freezing! But also very sunny. I couldn’t resist the combination and managed to get a few pics of the cold splendour.
