Roy D Hacksaw

An award-winning journalist and documentary film maker, Roy has lived and worked in Bristol for more than 25 years. Over that time he has seen the chaos increase incrementally each time the artist known as Banksy slaps one of his works on the side of some poor unsuspecting sod's wall. Roy was inspired to write Bugger Banksy after the artist's Barton Hill Valentine picture popped up right opposite his local chippy, and watched as the daily circus surrounding it built in real time before his very eyes. And as he saw all this happening, he wondered what it would be like to actually live in the building while all this madness was going on around you.Roy used to edit the Bristol listings magazine Venue, has worked on publications as diverse as GamesMaster, Pro Cycling, Metal Hammer, We Love Darts, The Quietus, Total Film, Fast Car, fRoots, Imagine FX, Calcio Italia and a whole load more. He also provides Eurovision coverage for Heat and Popbitch, and writes obituaries for the Musicians' Union.On top of that, Roy is a keen fan of non-league football, following Bath City home and away, and sings and plays the drums in punk rock bands called Hacksaw, GlueHorse and Chaotic Dischord.He wrote Bugger Banksy in 16 days during lockdown. You can't tell, right...?
