It's Only Me

About Me

I Love Rock 'N' Roll and Rockabilly. I grew up with this great music thro my parents. When everyone at school was into to the new romantic thing i was listeing to Sun Rockabily!!! Yeah, i get shit for it but I survived! I Like to go out to all the great Rockin clubs in this country and abroad. My day job is a Duty controller for a Railfreight company, which entails weekend working so im not out as ofton i should be!!The Rockin scene is great and i love it!!!

My Interests

The Rockin scene, English countryside Cornwall a fav, Classic Saabs, proud owner of a 1972 Saab 96 V4. Love real ale so cheers to the following brewers: Marstons, Green king, Fullers, Hook Norton, Batemans and many many more!! You Lager boys dont know what your missing! Failing that im happy with JD and coke. I must sound a complete alchoholic so i shall move on. Love taking pictures of the Rockin scene, recently invested in a small Digi compact to take to the clubs...

Old mates and new friends. if you've seen me in a club well send a invite.

Wild Rockabilly and cool Rock 'N' roll in a nutshell. Love the rockin bands of today who put on a stage show!!

Vintage stuff: anything on Sun, Gene Vincent, Link Wray, Charlie Feathers, Pat Cupp, Benny Joy, sonny fisher, Buddy Holly, Don Willis, Joe Poovey, Warren smith, Jerry Lee, ... I could go on and on and I will add to it when I can.
