About Me

I run the This Is Music night at Henry's Cellar Bar with my good friend HP.

I also play Bass in Y'all is Fantasy Island

I do PR for Cabaret Voltaire

I'm too honest

I think too much

I make more sense in black and white

I never know if anyone remembers who I am

I Support smoking, Socialism, and Celtic Football Club. I'm a thin skinned believer, a charmer, a dreamer, a careless reciever, and an indelible bairn

"We are here to unlearn the teaching of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." - Charles Bukowski
