You Xylophonic WHORE!!

About Me

Well, Im a hard out music geek. in fact some people find it down right sad. if im not listening to music, im talking about it. i DO count it as my religion and it IS. im a mad-ass gig-whore, i love live music! always front row always screaming. bit of a hippy and thats ok (tho why does everyone say the word like its a bad thing?) Dimploma in Audio engeneering at SAE which im finally using (sort of) volunteering where i can bFM and the like. also into a bit of live sound when i can get the work. always keen for new stuff to get my foot in the door and out of my mouth though! So if you know any one.... Thats the story (in short) so far the rest is yet to be written :)
