About Me

Hmmmm... let's see.... I'm currently at university, studying for a degree in History (exciting huh?). Depending when you read this I'm either just about to get married or I am married. My main interest is music (either listening to or playing) but I also have a healthy appetite for sport and socialising... That'll do for now.

My Interests

As previously mentioned my main interest is music. I have an eclectic taste, listening to anything from 60's/70's funk/soul, 60's/70's pop/rock, modern guitar bands and also a little bit of dancier, breakbeat stuff. I play a number of instruments including: Piano, guitar, bass and drums (not all at the same time!!) and I am currently the drummer for Left Hand Red, a guitar band from the Brighton area. Other than that I like my sport and play football whenever I'm fit enough... I also enjoy taking the p*** out of stupid people.

Music:

See above.

Movies:

I like my movies and go to the cinema as often as possible. I'm a big fan of horror movies (the decent ones, not the crappy slasher ones) and also of comedies (the funny ones, not the stupis ones). I also enjoy a lot of foreign cinema and have a small collection of Asian horror and various others.

Television:

I don't watch a lot of TV (mostly because it's a load of crap) but I do like to watch repeats of comedy shows, such as The Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, Blackadder, Have I got News For You. That's about it really... oh and the music channels.

Heroes:

Hmmmm.... Most of my heroes are musical. Anyone who's better at an instrument then me usually gets my vote. I would never have picked up a guitar if it wasn't for Oasis, so they must count. Various other musicians, from classical composers to Chuck Berry. I also admire anyone who can sing well as it's the one thing I wish I could do!!.... Oh and Ray Mears, the TV survial expert, he's just about the coolest bloke on the planet
