Jim Dunleavy was born in 1955
in Willington, County
Durham, in North-East England, but moved to Wardley on Tyneside with his
mother (who is originally from Hebburn) shortly after
his father died in 1971.
He has been interested in drawing and painting since he was
young, but this has always taken second place to his interest in writing &
playing music.
Jim is also a keen craft brewer. See his brewing
site, 'Jim's
Beer Kit'.
