I am here for Friends

About Me

Hello. My name is Steve, I've been living in Bristol for over 10 years now (well, now Keynsham, but I still spend a lot of time in Bristol), so although I'm not from these parts, it feels like home. I was born in High Wycombe (and support Wycombe Wanderers), but grew up in the dull town of Hoddesdon in Hertfordshire. Moved here in '96 for a short-lived course at the University of the West of England, but dropped out and have since been doing mostly dull call centre jobs to pay for my obsession with going to gigs and buying CDs. I can often be spotted in the Louisiana, the Fleece, the Croft, the Cube, the Academy etc. etc. watching bands with a trusty pint of cider or 3, and I also go to Ramshackle at the Academy and Klub Kute at the Cooler from time to time. Some other far-from-interesting facts: I'm left-handed, have a cat called Rocky, and can neither drive nor swim.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Unlike a lot of people on here, I'm actually more interested in listening to bands than meeting people, but I'm friendly :o)
