About Me

I sold my soul for music many moons ago. Currently I do live sound engineering all over the world for various bands and artists with varying talent, play bass in a top power trio that has no name yet and also own and run a rehearsal studio complex. I have in the past fixed Omnibuses, made toilets & cabin seats for jumbo jets and played in a band. I used to be a workaholic.......but I'm ok now. I'm quite shy at first but once I get to know you I'm your friend forever unless you try and shaft me! I'm either sleeping or doing something of the upmost importance and I firmly believe that actions really do speak louder than words.(Words are still great though!)"That's me, reliable and true, the eternal fall guy. Even at the last ditch, when everybody else has fallen, caved in and sold out. After all the love has dried up, when it's too late to say or do anything but scatter the ashes. That's when I'll be at my freshest, that's when I wake up, take a look around and announce myself: the one who remained true"

My Interests

Rigging sound systems from piles of junk. Searching for my Holy Grail. Observing people. Thinking out loud. Cooking. Drinking & Smoking. Hoovering (including around the edges) Staying off the beaten track. Portsmouth FC. Making short films. Dancing around like a bell-end. Sleeping (Preferably 10 - 12 hours a night) ALL OF THE ABOVE DONE USUALLY WITH MUSIC ON IN THE FOREGROUND/ BACKGROUND.
