About Me

I'm originally from Swadlincote, Derbyshire but have spent the last five years in Durham (except 3rd year when I was teaching English in Le Havre, France) where I got a 2:1 in Modern Languages and I've just finished my MA in International Relations. Whether I've passed or not, who knows...

In my spare time, I really enjoy playing piano and guitar. Bands that I've played in this year include 'PJ & Olly' (a duo covering a lot of swing-type stuff, e.g. Frank Sinatra, as well as more contemporary numbers, e.g. John Legend), the Blue Bishops Band (a band that started out covering blues numbers by Eric Clapton and John Mayer Trio, with some reggae and pop mixed in for good measure). Forthcoming musical projects include laying down some guitar tracks on Hannah Scott 's forthcoming album

I've left Durham after five years of hard study (yeah, right...) and I'm due to start working for the corporate devil at a 'big four' City firm in Jan 2007 as an IT auditor.

First blog and life in general. Way better than a Ricky Gervais podcast! Maybe.

Hello to my MySpace friends.  Seeing as I've never done any of this blog malarky, I thought it was about time I started.  So, what have I been doing with myself recently?The main thing that'...
