About Me


Just a general remark: there are only people in my friend list that I know in person or that I find interesting in one way or another. There are also many bands that I like and / or toured with.

It’s always great to meet new people (especially those with a similar taste in music), but if we don’t know each other please send me a message first. I’m not collecting friends and delete people from my list if we never talk to each other.

My website: Ska Pics

My Interests

driving hundreds of miles for a show, selling merch and taking pictures and videos at shows, ska travel agency and the one and only ska taxi

I'd like to meet:
