About Me

I travel quite a lot, and speak various languages. So far I speak English, Spanish and French, but am learning German and can have pretty good conversation in Italian. As well as spending quality time with Charlotte Green, I jet about all over the world doing fun things like running around foreign cities, or playing gigs.

Have a look at my band 7Hertz. I sing and play the violin you know.

I'm involved in Hyde Park Unity Day in sunny Leeds- e-mail through the website if you fancy getting involved.
