About Me

www.Jango.comIn live in Westcliff on Sea in Essex and the main thing you can say about me is that I love my music. I'm into mainly Indie guitar stuff, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr, Pavement etc but like jazz and Americana too. I love going to gigs, reading and watching films. My spaghetti bolognese has been spoken about as far away as Leigh on Sea!!.I'm into tattooes and so far have seven. I'm disabled and I am into disability politics, mainly by campaigning for equality in the work place and for better access to live music venues.
