Action and Ambrose

I wear Ronnie Barker's glasses

About Me

I love to listen to music and deconstruct why I like it. I love shouting a bit and dancing like an idiot with my band as well (see the action and action myspace ).

Broadly, I am pro-vinyl in the music format war.

If you do not realise that Macintosh is preferable to Windows, there is no hope for you.

As well as singing etc in bands, I have been involved in performing quite a lot of sacred music over the last few years. In fact, the most recent CD I've been on was with The Holst Singers .

I have a blog already, so probably won't blog on Myspace, but please add me to your lists if I know you (if I don't know you, I generally find it quite odd being added, so some sort of explanation would be nice).

I'm quite pedantic, but I'm a good person really.
