About Me

My name is Jonathan Corbett (Corb) and I live in an old fishing town called Cullercoats, near Newcastle, England.I sing in a band called The Ballarats and we've got a single coming out 6 October on i-Tunes, so get downloading you tight fisted scamps and let me know what you think.I also have a degree in Geography and I'm doing a part-time Masters in journalism.My other likes are getting off my teeth with the lads, Newcastle United and travelling. What more does a young soul need?

My Interests

Excessive behaviour. Travelling and new experiences. Singing with the mighty Ballarats. Hitting the toon with 'the lads'. Reading till five AM. Writing the occasional lyric and naughty article, Journalism, watchin' the Mags.

I'd like to meet:

Well, if they wern't six feet under i would love to have a cup of tea and maybe a scotch egg with Jim Morrison of the The Doors, Hunter S. Thompson (the father of Gonzo journalism) and Sir John Lennon. Wouldn't mind having a cheese burger with Elvis as well. Of the living, I would love to have a word with Alan Shearer, just to say thank you. Others may include Jimmy Saville, Noelie G and all of the Spice Girls, exluding that fuckin Posh...!
