We first met Gilbert in the Kino in Rye for a chat and then heard more of his story at his book launch; when Martin from Sailor’s interviewed Gilbert at The Winery Rye.

Surrounded by keepsakes and mementos from his travels and career, we were privileged to sit down with Giles Duley at home in St Leonards. The table top is laden with stacks of books, lists, and objects carefully curated for ongoing projects.
