Alan David Goodrick (born April 1962 in Manchester),[1][2] better known under the pseudonym Gimpo, is an English film director and former roadie, best known as an associate and collaborator of The KLF and the K Foundation.

Goodwick organises an annual 25-hour drive around the

London Orbital book.[3]

In August 1994, Goodrick made a film of K Foundation originators Bill Drummond and

Mark Manning to the top of the world (as recounted in Bad Wisdom).[5]

He was the ski-masked person fumbling with lighter fluid and matches when Rachel Whiteread came to claim the K Foundation art award.

He is currently an underground/alternative arts film maker and is frequently involved with both Drummond and

roadie.[6]

Background

Goodrick reportedly served with the British Army in the Falklands War. He later met up with Zodiac Mindwarp (the alter ego of Mark Manning) and started to work part-time with his band The Love Reaction. After a period as a roadie for various Food Records bands such as Blur and Jesus Jones, he set up Pit Bull management and began to manage the Love Reaction.
