Me pins aren't made of tripe

About Me

Taller than Jeremy Clarkson and able to talk at people for extended periods of time about music. Finding my feet in London and trying to carve a career for myself. Starting the long lonely road of music production after, realising that I have played other peoples music for ages but none of my own. I have now filled my house with obscene amounts of music and equipment much to the chagrin of my patient housemates. Love travelling and the people that I meet on my voyages. Trying to instill the same sense of discovery into my everyday life as everything is out there waiting for me to see. Just started training for a solo week long bike ride around the UK and France to raise money for my buddy's Tsunami charity. Don't worry, you will all be approached for funding!

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !

I have met the greatest man/ personality in the world (No, not Jeremy Beadle)

My mildly crazy sis managed to wheel and deal her way into getting two tickets to see top gear being filmed. During a break from filming we were strolling around, soaking up the atmosphere (middle age...
