About Me

Im the drummer for vile addiction and was one of its founding members and co-writers. ive been in a number of other bands which were all too crap to warrant me writing about them. i also play the guitar, piano and i can sing not that im going too though, my bass player dave is currently trying to convince me to do a cover of joni mitchells "case of you" but the idea of actually having to go through with singing in front of more than an audience of my dog and cats terrifies me.
To the reality of my day job, im a psychiatric nurse which i want to say i hate but that is unfair to the patients i work with. i hate the system and the paper work and the fact that i feel more like a prison warden than i do a nurse. i love working with people they are interesting, fascinating and it can be rewarding. you have to be a good listener to be a psychiatric nurse and ive heard stuff that will break your heart and make you sick to your stomach.
im a huge fan of horror films especially zombie ones, although most of the recent ones are shite and the computer generated effects are a joke, proper films like zombie flesh eaters and night of the living dead are what the zombie horror genre is really all about.
i also own 4 horses which is probably my first great passion and they take up any spare time i have.

My Interests

i love playing the drums and making music, i own 4 horses and theres nothing like being in the woods at dawn with noboby but your horse for company, driving cars, i cant handle being idle so i try to keep busy by being creative.
