About Me

Now at the ripe old age of 35. Living with my partner and our 5 year old boy, just oustside Newton Abbot. 2 cats who really rule the house. Working in manufacturing (still) and work as a production manager for a small technology firm in Torbay. Still making music in my limited spare time, drummer in The Racket Scientists - www.myspace.com/theracketscientists and writing some of my own material in the very vague hope of a publishing deal, as I'm much to old to be a pop star now.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who knows me past or present, or future if you don't know me. Don't be shy it's always good to catch up with friends.

Music:

All sorts. Born in 70's, grew up in the 80's, grew up properly in the 90's, now maturing in the 00's. I like anything with real musicians - with passion and talent, and a groove.

Movies:

Not a big film buff, but my top 10 would include:- Duel, The Game, Meet Joe Black, Hard Rain, The Fugitive, Runaway Train (just for the soundtrack in the last 3 minutes), Under Siege, Event Horizon.... see told you I wasn't a film buff only got to 8.

Television:

Don't really get time to watch much. I was addicted to Lost while I could get it but don't have Sky. Recently redicovered Doctor Who and was reminded how frightening the Darleks really are especially now they can fly. Original 60's sci-fi and drama, Waking the Dead, Deadliest Catch (don't ask me why), Nevermind the Buzzcocks, and University Challenge for a bit of culture and a density check.

Books:

Crime fiction mainly, John Patterson, Rebus, Kay Scarpetta. I like Schotts series of Almanacs too.

Heroes:

Vinnie Colaiuta - probably the finest drummer who ever graced the earth (so far on the case he's nearly off the other side). If only I could think to do what he manages to pull off easily.
