About Me

Gawd! Where do I start? Ok... I'm a fun loving guy with a GSOH, I refuse to grow up. I don't take myself or life too seriously and steer clear of those who do - life's too short!
I love music and all things music related. I like to think of myself as fairly open-minded when it comes to music and have a broad ranging musical taste - from Punk to Electronic, Acoustic to Metal, Indie and Alternative etc.
My main passion in life is live music (i.e. going to gigs!), I try to catch as many gigs as I can, but these days I'm more likely to be found slaving over a hot computer developing an exciting new Scottish music site - coming soon! - and running and promoting gigs in Glasgow.
When I'm not doing that (which recently hasn't been very often!), I enjoy the usual stuff such as reading, listening to music, watching movies etc - and occassionally drawing and mountain biking (when I get the chance).

My Interests

Music: gigs, listening, reviewing, promoting etc Reading, Mountain Bike, Walking, Drinking beer!

Duckbumps!

Apparently these are smaller than goosebumps and much smaller that swanbumps... according to my daughter! I love her to bits! She's so funny, always makes me smile no matter how low I'm feeling!...
