Mark Sampson

Mark Sampson - or Prezident Markon as he is known to a discerning minority of listeners in France - is a writer, journalist, intermittent radio DJ and straw-bale builder (once featured on Channel 4's Grand Designs Abroad). He lives in SW France with a tolerant wife, an affectionate dog, 'two cats in the yard' and more music than you can shake a baguette at.
