About Me

Given that I've put world domination on the back burner for a while, (it is very cold out!)....what I am hopefully creating here on myspace is a visual journal of stuff I like to do. Usually in a tent,(But not always.....like I said its cold out this time of year) Sometimes on a scooter, occassionaly with a microphone in my hand, frequently at festivals and gatherings (smaller ones), but always with my eye's wide open and a passion for people and places.My camera is never too far away from my side, hence there's loads of my stuff in my pics section. Writer of sorts, singer with ska / punk outfit from Barnsley, BARMY SURPLUS.Music keeps my groove steady and my soul intact (ish!?)Festivals, scooter rallies and any other opportunity to get my tent out from under the stairs, to share a few beers with friends under the stars usually keeps the demons from kicking my head in throughout Summer months.It's all about people and places!

Jethros Gig Reviews - HALF MAN HALF BISCUIT
