Adam McCulloch is a journalist and musician who lives in south-east London.

My profession is magazine, newspaper and website production, and writing. I currently work for a national newspaper on its travel pages (article here on Switzerland), and freelance at various publications, in sectors ranging from theatre to HR, business, farming, aviation and finance. I also produce brochures for conferences, exhibitions and other events.

The idea for Kent Walks Near London came out of a conversation with a work colleague who, not being from London, didn’t know where to go walking at the weekends in nearby countryside. It struck me that so many people living in SE London are from elsewhere in the UK or from abroad and may benefit from a website that told them about local countryside that some of us who have lived here for a long time may almost take for granted.

Adam is also a saxophonist and composer in the jazz, funk and soul genres and has been playing semi-pro since the mid-1980s. He has played in a number of bands active on London’s club scene and toured on the continent. Among his credits are two tracks on Roxette’s album Look Sharp, in 1988. He plays in big bands (his own music and other people’s), funk, pop and soul bands, and gives lessons. Some of his songs, as recorded by a big band can be heard on Soundcloud, others through his music website. Adam occasionally writes reviews of jazz gigs – here’s one from November 2017 at Jazzwise and another from January 2024 for London Jazz News.

Adam can be heard (and seen!) when playing with the Mick Collins Legacy Big Band at the Sundridge Park Working Men’s Club (Bromley North) on the first Monday of every month.
