About Me

"An emaciated bass player who looks a bit like Catweasle" - Guardian review

I live in Nottingham, where the sun don't shine. I play bass guitar in two bands, The Hellset Orchestra and Dead City Presidents. I'm variously and sporadically self-employed as a musician / web designer / programmer / graphic designer / music producer / performance artist / housewife / record label cohort / dogsbody / insomniac.

As a hobby I cultivate facial hair. I'm an amateur at best.

My Interests

Playing Electric Bass and Guitar, Trying to play Double Bass, Computers, Books, Food, Travel, Continued Breathing

I'd like to meet:

My pallbearers, to ensure the sturdiness of their frames.
