My Interests

I bloody love old people, pirates, music&going to gigs, charity shops, art, shirts, ties and pies. But I especially love the 1980's. Gimme a tight fitting shirt, tie and some cords, whack on some eyeliner and I'm ready ;-) I like to dance like a reject, it comes natural. I like LCD watches, I have one. its great.

GO TO BESTIVAL. IT'S THE BEST FESTIVAL, HENCE THE NAME. FACT.

Mystery Jets + The Spinto Band

Fuck me it was an excellent gig. It helped that the outstanding Spinto Band were supporting, but at the same time I wondered if the Mystery Jets could better such a great set. But I'd say they equalle...
