About Me

Im 27. I love music and love going to see bands in small venues. Live music is the best. Currently love going to see Indie, Jazz, Blues, Punk, Funk, Soul, World and Rock bands. I have an electric Ibanez Guitar, a Ukelele and a Yamaha Keyboard! I can't play any of them, especially the Ukelele. Tell a lie, i can play a couple of chords on the guitar and Spice Girls' Say You'll Be There on the keyboard and many other odd bits of songs BUT...This is the amazing bit...BUT! I played the piano the other day, played some odd notes here and there and to me it pretty much sounded like Jazz! I can't read notes and i dont know what the letters are, i just hit the keys and out comes the Jazz. I improvise as well. There's a good chance of me not being able to play the little ditty i played on that piano, again. So if you're with me and a piano just happens to be there, you'll be in for a rare treat!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Louis Theroux, Sasha Baron Cohen, Alicia Keys, Hiromi, Noel Fielding, Julian Barrat, Patrick Monahan.
