My Interests

I'm a big music fan, I also like walking, cooking, go karting, natural history,(Especially birds of prey, sharks, crocodiles and snakes), computers and watching live bands..The best live artist I have witnessed was the late great Frank Zappa at Wembley & N.E.C. Birmingham in 1988 he was truly outstanding!! I've seen Roy Harper live dozens of times in England over the last 24 years, if you haven't seen him perform then you must make it your mission, this man filled in the blanks for me!!

I'd like to meet:

I wouldn,t mind meeting my all time favourite musicians some day, although I have seen a lot of of them play live over the years,I'd like to meet Roy Harper although I've seen him live lots of times, I would like to shake his hand one day!
