About Me

I was born in North Ferriby on a very cold winters day- February 20th, 1982. I lived in Welton until I was 7 then moved to Newport, where I am currently residing (hopefully not for much longer). I spent a lot of my youth enjoying the richer aspects of life such as, The Chuckle Brothers, Simon & The Witch & Rainbow on TV & collecting spokey dokeys for my bike! I have always been exceptionally shy, which has never really gone away but sometimes I even suprise myself! I can say though that back when I was about 14 I performed on the stage at the Drury Lane Theatre in London....I was a genetically modified plant & was trying to take over the world- all set to music! Thats the absolute truth. Not much happened until I started work at HMV in 2000 when Paul Rutter took me under his wing (or wings?). I met my Dan in 2003 who really is a special guy. I worked for HMV for 5 years & I left in April 2006, after much deliberation & started a new job with a design company which is different in many ways! It's ok but work is work I suppose! My 5 years at HMV taught me many things including good work mates deserve nothing but the greatest amount of respect & they are very hard to come by!I edited my profile at Quacked.com , check out these Myspace Layouts!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I have met some cool people already (Josh Rouse, Jesse Malin, Ed Harcourt & childhood hero Shawn Michaels) but I'd like to meet anyone i'm a fan of, i'm not fussy! I like famous people who'll sign my stuff! :) These are two really cool videos, the first I recorded at a Josh Rouse gig in Manchester 2005! The second is a genius song by The Folksmen from the film A Mighty Wind called Old Joes Place!.. width="425" height="350">.. .. ....>object width="425" height="355">.. .. ....
