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

What does your job involve?
It sounds really interesting. Have you always worked in the arts?
What did you study?
So what did you do after your degree?
I worked at the Green Room Theatre in Manchester and, through an Arts Council apprenticeship scheme for disabled people, stayed there for nearly three years. Then I moved to Full Circle Arts in 1998 to finish off the apprenticeship. I really feel as though I've found my niche here, I love what I do.
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?
