So, me.... introvert, extrovert, shy, noisy, idiot, sensible, weird, normal type of guy.Love my girlfriend and generally love life unless you catch me on a bad day! Tend to be the one who looks like they're having a rubbish time unless I'm drunk but that's just cos I'm thinking and for some reason I look very serious and moody when I think - I should stop thinking! lol
I work in a bike shop where I do most of the repairs too. If you're into BMX then you may have heard of the company I work for www.alansbmx.com www.myspace.com/alansbmx
I own two bikes - a Mongoose full sus and also a We The People 4 Seasons although I'm usually too lazy/busy (delete as appropriate) to be seen riding either!
I also co-ordinate the bookings for the Wigan Music Collective who everyone thinks are a bunch of cliquey bastards but you couldn't be more wrong if that's your opinion.
We book bands from all genres and anyone is welcome to come and get involved with anything we do - in fact the more the merrier as far as I'm concerned as at the moment it takes up a sizeable chunk of my spare time and it'd be great if anyone wanted to help out!
Visit www.wiganmusic.com for more info or email me (Mark) at

If you're interested in finding out more about the Collective or after a gig then email me at
[email protected] or visit our website www.wiganmusic.com or www.myspace.com/wiganmusiccollective
On a personal level, I like live music, drinking, having fun, talking too much, Wigan Music Collective, sausages, coriander, League Of Gentlemen etc etc etc etc ( Can't be bothered writing just now) All the bands listed on the left are my own fave bands and have no reflection on the type of stuff I book on behalf of the Collective.

I fear that I'm ordinary, just like everyone
To lie here and die among the sorrows
Adrift among the days
For everything I ever said
And everything I've ever done is gone and dead
As all things must surely have to end
And great lovers will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world
My life has been extraordinary
Blessed and cursed and won
Time heals but I'm forever broken
By and by the way...
Have you ever heard the words
I'm singing in these songs?
It's for the girl I've loved all along
Can a taste of love be so wrong
As all things must surely have to end
And great lovers will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world
And in my mind as I was floating
Far above the clouds
Some children laughed I'd fall for certain
For thinking that I'd last forever
But I knew exactly where I was
And I knew the meaning of it all
And I knew the distance to the sun
And I knew the echo that is love
And I knew the secrets in your spires
And I knew the emptiness of youth
And I knew the solitude of heart
And I knew the murmurs of the soul
And the world is drawn into your hands
And the world is etched upon your heart
And the world so hard to understand
Is the world you can't live without
And I knew the silence of the world
