But I guess I'll have a go...
My name is Joe. I am living St Johns Wood in London (just down the road from Abbey Road studios) studying Biotechnology at UCL but originally I'm from a pretty insignificant town called Garstang in Lancashire. Its near Preston, which is near Manchester, which is up North, which is outside the M25 if you're a Londoner. It is a very pretty place but... yeah... not London.
I used to play keyboards in a band called The Concrete Pillows, we rocked a little too hard and decided to go our separate ways musically. I'm trying to write some stuff at the minute which is a lot of fun but is leaving me riddled with self doubt so I'll post some tracks .. soon so the doubt can be confirmed or lifted as appropriate.
I do a lot of stuff with Rare FM, the UCL radio station. Last year I was Station Manager but this year I'm taking a backseat so I can work on my degree a bit more, but I will be hosting a show, hopefully.
Ermm, yeah. You probably knew all that anyway, unless you've only just met me and are Google-stalking me. Thank you. If you want to know more about me, ask and depending on how personal the question is and who you are I will do my best to answer.
