Neil Gowans (aka Dirk
Profane)
- Singing and rhythm guitar.
  Born in Germany to Scottish parents, Neil has suffered a certain identity crisis but finds solace in the fact that he can always hate the England football team.
He has lived in the Scottish colony of
London for most of his adult life and when not playing in Pluko,
he can be found reciting beat poetry
to beautiful girls, writing beautiful
stories and occasionally doing something, no doubt beautiful, in an
office. He is also a part-time secret agent
but can't talk about that. Obviously.
  He has played in a number of other bands, almost all of which were criminally underrated, had terrible names and nvolved James on either guitar or
bass.He likes to read a lot of books,
particularly those written by people with unpronounceable
foreign names because he thinks it

makes him look clever.

Albert Camus was a serious dude.
  He sometimes plays football very badly.  His musical influences
are varied and range through rockabilly, country, soulpunk and
even the odd bit of techno.

His favourite singers are Elvis Presley, Dean Martin and Jackie Wilson.
Those Buckley fellas weren't bad either.He has his shoes specially made for him, in order to indulge his penchant for pointy toes and Cuban heels, and they are imported from
Italy especially.Sure.  He would like to

pretend his favourite films are poncey ones in black & white but they may include Goodfellas, Wild at Heart and anything involving Audrey Hepburn.
  His favourite colour is pink, since he is
comfortable with his sexuality and anyway, what's good enough for
Elvis is good enough for Neil. He can be
