Allan Gilmour ist der Ansicht, dass unser moderner, hektischer Lebensstil zu Unzufriedenheit, Krankheit und einer Entfremdung von unserem wahren Selbst beigetragen hat. Vor diesem Hintergrund hielt er es für angebracht, seine beiden pelzigen Begleiter mit ins Boot zu holen, um gemeinsam das Buch „A Helping Paw“ zu schreiben – mit dem Ziel, dem Einzelnen zu helfen.
Wenn er nicht gerade an seinen Keyboards herumspielt, an seinem Flugsimulator bastelt, alte deutsche Briefmarken katalogisiert oder seine Sammlung alter Schallplatten und Autogramme aus den 80er Jahren durchstöbert, liebt er es, durch die sanften Hügel des Schwarzwaldes zu joggen, was ihn kreativ für zukünftige Projekte inspiriert.
Im Jahr 2012 veröffentlichte er sein erstes Buch, ein Sachbuch mit dem Titel „NICE PLACE, SHAME ABOUT THE HUMAN RACE“.

Allan Gilmour was born in Nottingham, England, in 1967. In 1987 he sought new horizons and left England's green and pleasant land for a life in the Black Forest of South Germany.
He is self-employed as a hairdresser, has lectured for eleven years in hairdressing and business studies, and is the creator of "B4" (your direct line to the spirit world), which went online in the summer of 2026.
He finds that the hairdressing salon is a great 'playground‘ for observing human behaviour and a place where true-life stories are allowed to unveil themselves.
Allan Gilmour believes that our modern, hectic lifestyles have helped create dissatisfaction, illness, and disassociation with our true selves, and with this in mind, he thought it apt to get his two furry companions on board to assist in writing 'A Helping Paw' with the intention of trying to help the individual.
When not playing about with his keyboards, tinkering with his flight simulator, cataloguing old German philately or sifting through his collection of old vinyl recordings and 80s autographs, he loves to jog through the rolling hills of the Black Forest which creatively inspires him for future projects.
In 2012, he published his first book, a non-fiction work titled, 'NICE PLACE, SHAME ABOUT THE HUMAN RACE'.
