MySpace Slideshow Contact Tables MySpace Comment Box MySpace Icons MySpace Comments


I'm single
I'm currently Working in the British Lion in order to save up for a car so i can drive down to meet with the rest of Downfall more often. (doing lessons at the moment, shouldn't be too long now)

I'm into my music and enjoy listening to various types, although i don't have as much time to listen to music as much any more and a lot of new music seems a bit.......stale.. but don't get me wrong i still loooove music. ( i mostly end up listening to the jukebox at work, which isn't such a bad thing as its mostly decent music...
I love singing and Playing acoustic guitar, I have played a couple of small gigs with my acoustic, I may not be texhnically the best guitarist about but i enjoy it :)
I love whiskey... mmmm Scotch
I Love trying different types of Ale at work :D
I love sleeping
I love songwriting
I love climbing rocks and trees
I love hanging out and spending time with my friends
I have high but random morals
I enjoy doing social things which involve people
I enjoy thinking about things and having intellectual and deep conversations sometimes.
I enjoy arguing about things but i try not to let it get too heated
I love gigging, especially with Downfall where i can go nuts :P

My Interests

Music - i like listening to loads of music - mostly rock, blues and metal i also like singing and i want to get hold of a load of instruments just so i can jam on them all.

Computers - I'm on a break from computers, the pissed me off a bit too much but i do actually have a National Diploma for IT Practitioners just incase i feel like getting a "normal" job which at the moment i don't cause computers are possibly the most annoying things on the planet (apart from "insert name of one of my friends here as a joke")

Friends- I like hanging with my friends and randomly having fun :D
I would like to thank HateKills [www.hate-kills.com & www.myspace.com/hatekills] (Nathan Hamley, Steve Nolan & Adam Oldfield) for giving me the chance to gain and improve my vocals and my confidance.



I would also Like to thank Pat Ward & Richard Myerson [www.myspace.com/paganfistfight] for jamming with me for over four years now. if it wasn't for you guys i might never have joined HateKills or gained My love for singing



Since HateKills havn't jammed for a while i decided to explore my horisons. In comes Downfall an off beat yet melodic band i found from somerset. i have been jamming with them for a while now and we're currently gigging, Fuck Yeagh!! Thanks to you guys for putting up with me too :P

I don't really watch that many films, and i definatly wouldn't say i'm a film buff but when i do watch films they are generally:

comedies

action

Sci Fi

Fantasy

phycological films

or messed up random films

I don't watch that much TV either to be honest but when i do i watch things like
Family Guy

Futurama
Sci fi stuff
horror
anime
comedy
music channels
random sketchy programs
programs which are on late at night specifically for drunk people The Mighty Boosh!! (Saw the stage show. It rocked!!!!!)

Books:

Fantasy Books...

especially raymond E. fiest's long running series beggining the magician

especially David Eddings' Belgariad and Mallorian series'

Philip Pullman's dark materials series is awesome

I like the Harry Potter series too and i think apart from the last predictable few paragraphs it is a good series

(why did they have to make harry potter go emo though?!.... and while i'm here why did spiderman turn emo in spiderman 2?! .... anyhow back to books)

i also appreciate Brian Jaques for his Redwall series which i read from about 7 - 13 and enjoyed

I love the lord of the rings films but i have not got around to reading the books yet... (tried a couple of times but at the start where it is describing the family of dwarves names put me off... like blah blah, son of blah blah, brother of blah blah......"phew".. but anyway thanks for the storyline Tolkien :)

Heroes:

All my mates (you know who you are, and you meen the world to me :) )

My Family

My bandmates; Carcus, Hippy, Tom, and Tristan

Everyone who has ever musically inspired me

People who can lick their own elbows...or genitals

And last but not least all of you who have put up with me talking crap for years and have still stuck by me, all those of you who have influenced my life in subtle or big ways, Thanks for making me who i am today :D
