'A Fine Balance' by Rohinton Mistry

Curry, anything his Mum cooks

Once jumped out of a shopping trolley onto his head: his only visit to casualty ever.

Music, graphic design, mountain biking, cricket, snooker, rugby

Tom: "An awesome man of God, who I have total respect for, as a friend and a blindin' guitarist!"

Pete: "Kamal's always been in the right place at the right time and his quest for neatness never fails to inspire me."

Sim: "Kamal is the best guitarist I've ever worked with. He is a badboy shredder."

On everything:
"If it's worth doing, it's worth doing properly."

On packing the van:
"It's like Tetris, but heavier."
