Life's one long gig!

About Me

Hiya! I'm forty-something and live in Sheffield with my hubby and three of our four kids.
Our eldest son lives with his girlfriend and their two sons.
We also have a Border Collie called Tim!
I work part time for Sainsburys - but I also volunteer at our local Primary school and have just started my NVQ to become a Teaching Assistant!
I'm here for the music. Music is my life, especially when its live!! I have a wide and varied taste in music, though I don't particularly like classical or dance. Singer-songwriters are my passion - and I've found many excellent, unsigned, & signed artists on My Space. Check out 'My Blog' to hear what I think of the artists I've seen play live recently, and check out 'My Friends' for more really talented people....... MyGen Profile Generator
