About Me


I am a musician, and am passionate about sharing my love for music.
I co-run the Greenwich Academy of Music and Drama - www.gamd.org.uk - providing after school music and drama ensembles & holiday courses.

I'm a clarinettist, but i also play piano, violin, sax and flute. I wish that there were enough hours in the day to practice them all!
My new thing is tap dancing. I love the buzz, and am learning to live with constant bruises on my feet from getting the steps wrong and kicking myself.
I love my friends, and would do anything for them. They keep me grounded, inspire me, and keep me sane!

Post Secret... This website is amazing and thought provoking. What started out as a small community project has expanded and captured the imaginations of people all over the world. Go have a look.

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4..

My Blog

Reflections on my painful weekend...

pain!A very frustrating weekend; can't believe how difficult it has been not being able to use one arm, and only having limited movement in my back/neck. And my injury really isn't serious - just pain...

Still so excited that our website is up and running... it's not quite finished, but most of the info is up. It makes everything seem official, although in reality it has been for a while now... Go loo...

Love?

So i read this quote the other day:  "Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship - never." and I don't know who wrote it, but it stayed in my mind, and I keep going back to it. Ha...
