Biography
Toby Kettle
26th Dec 1963–14th March 1994.
"Another member of Consenting Adults was Toby Kettle, a red-haired punk teenage troubadour with a guitar and a practised incivility, a boy dancer from the Arts Educational School who appeared as one of Tadzio's friends on the Lido in Death In Venice, dodging von Aschenbach's offstage as well as onstage attentions. He wrote sour, rather brilliant songs about transgressive desire and the futility of everything, Barnes' answer to Jacques Brel"
