About Me

All my photos can be found on www.bertweb.com


Currently touring the U.K with Bromheads Jacket after touring Europe for a month and having a wail of a time, great places and great people made it a wicked month. Gi x

Thanks for taking a minute to have a ponderous gander at me, I'm a relative new comer to Sheffield well 8 years now and counting(expect 14 months in Munich), came here to university to do a computer networks degree and couldn't bring myself to leave after getting a string of initials after my name that you need a legend to understand :). I enjoy music photography and I'm getting plenty of practice working as backline technician for a number of Sheffield bands. Its fun and you get to see a lot of the country and Europe albeit from the inside of a venue hehe, i get to meet a lot of new people but the days are long and the responsibility high, try rounding up 5 drunk band members at 4am and getting them and all there gear into a van for a four drive back home hehe, kindergarten might have been easier. its worth it for the experience and the buzz of a great show, my heart missed a beat first time i stood on stage in front of 6000 people though, but can you blame me? day job is working as property developer, it pays the bills and is trianing me for when my dad steps down, i say when as this may never happen lol

Well a bit about me, I enjoy the finer things in life and like to think of myself as a connoisseur when it comes to food & drink and life in general, although i have been known to succumb to fried chicken at 4am. 'If a jobs worth doing its worth doing right' and 'what that will do a lot, will do a little but what that will do a little wont do a lot' my dads and my excuse for buying bigger toys hehe. rugby, skiing, cooking and photography ohh and guitars are my main hobbies. I'm very practical having grown up on a farm as the son of a property developer so can pretty much fix anything, drive anything, or if you want build you a house lol (probably should put some disclaimer here) . Grew up in bedded in horse culture, mum and sisters' fault so point me in the direction of one and I'm your man, if a little resentful for all the early hour mucking out and turning out and that was just me :).

i live for my friends and have some truly wonderful friends who i go out my way to spoil and look after. i love cooking, and go a bit wild in the kitchen cooked xmas dinner for 5 friends involving a pigeon, pheasant, duck all stuffed inside a goose, see i go over the top but it was worth the effort.

random fact: i'm named Giles because my dad was reading "A Subaltern's Odyssey" at the time. whats your random fact about yourself?

so war and peace might be a quicker read but if i have left anything out or your intrigued just get in touch...
