Interview with Phil Samphire, disability arts information and advocacy worker. Age 34. Comes from Manchester.

What does your job involve?
It's very varied. I provide help and information to anyone who wants to know more about disability arts. I may be providing details about an arts course at a university or a particular workshop or I could be putting someone looking for a job in touch with a theatre in the North West - we have a lot of connections. I also run a database of disabled artists across all art forms so organisations may be contacting me about someone on there.
It sounds really interesting. Have you always worked in the arts?
What did you study?
So what did you do after your degree?
Which aspects of your job do you like the most?
What about the least enjoyable aspects?
Any advice?
And do you look forward to work every day?
