Personal Life
He is married to the American photographer Casey Orr whom he met in San Francisco in 1992.
The name Boff came from being nicknamed "College Boffin" by other workers at the Supasave supermarket in Burnley, where Whalley worked after leaving school. Whalley's first band Chimp Eats Banana had a song called "Supasave".
Beyond his musical career, Whalley has been prominent in the fell running scene, particularly in West Yorkshire, running at a relatively high standard. Touring and recording commitments have influenced the extent to which he has been able to pursue this activity. He was instrumental in the production of the Fellternative fell running fanzine in the early 1990s.
