About Me

I'm young, fun loving, sociable, live in Bristol, enjoy gigs, eating out, and play spanish guitar.I've been living in Bristol for over 7 years now and am enjoying it as much as ever. 2007 and 2008 were great years, and I made lots of new friends and discovered many great new bands. 2009 has been more of the same and I've had some great nights out and been to numerous gigs. I also had a fantastic holiday in Spain with 6 of my friends in July 2008. We visited Barcelona and then the Benicassim Festival, where I got to see Morrissey live for the first time!There's a great music scene in the Bristol and Bath area and I'm keen to promote the many talented artists that we have here to a wider audience.I was born and raised in Bath and still have many fond memories of the city. I spent 3 years at University in Leeds and absolutely loved it. After returning to Bath I shared a fantastic Georgian period house for nearly 3 years with 2 of my best friends.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Lisa Faulkner, Elisha Cuthbert, Lauren Laverne, Nikki Sanderson
