About Me

Born in 1972, an Essex Boy to North London parents, he went to school in Rochford and college in Barking and just about accumulated a few passes in some boring subjects. He didnt go to university but got a job instead. This meant he could afford to buy a drum kit and lo and behold, he could play them. He played for one band (Mortis), who's debut gig at the Esplanade caused such a frenzied mosh pit the lighting rig got smashed and cuts and bruises has to be administered to by the bar staff, a second band (Pawz), who's pyros set fire to the Minerva and a 3rd band (T*I*T*S*) who never won a "battle of the bands" competition, but won the hearts of millions. Since retiring from drumming he now forays into the world of knob twiddling, with Djing and programming under the guises of Hybernation (Ambient and Electronica), and DJ Wes Cliff (minimal techno, tech house and electro). Along side all this, his poetry and photography, he still finds time to keep a regular job, travel the world and keep his feet on the ground and his head in the clouds. What a guy. Oh, and I've recently started drumming again with The Keshi Heads...come see!!!

My Interests

My favourite things are: Music, stickers, sweets, driving, boats, sunshine, a warm breeze, maps and airports. In girls: big pants, accents, back dimples and glasses.

I'd like to meet:
