About Me

Wrong side of 40 unfortunately. I used to work as a nurse at Russells Hall Hospital, Dudley but I gave it up as a bad job when I was 29. Went to Birmingham University to take a degree in genetics and they have only just got rid of me :) Currently a post doc scientist in Plant Genetics at the University of Warwick. I also run a music promotions "company". I have now been given the privilege of managing the extraordiarily talented Mr Bones and the Dreamers, for which I am incredibly grateful and rather overawed if I'm honest. I'm very happily married to Mrs Mike and we have a young son. I also have a daughter, from my first marriage - she's grown up now. I live in a small village on the edge of the West Midlands conurbation. It's quiet, but it's nice (not a good adjective I know but there is no other word to describe it!) ..
I edited my layout at .. , check out these Myspace Layouts!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'm not in this for dating!!!!! (see above!) But I'd meet anybody who shares my music interests. Also anyone who has decided that life is for living and not just for letting slip through their fingers. Anybody into raging against the dying of the light.

Mr Bones and the Dreamers - album review

Seldom do you stumble upon a band that defy genre. I thought I'd had my ration of this. Then I stumbled across Mr Bones and the Dreamers. I'd heard of them without hearing them. I'd listened to the od...
