About Me

More Bill Bailey, less Brad Pitt. European migrant. I live and love on Dartmoor where life's wonderful, even when it isn't.
MySpace is great to keep tabs on all those lovely people in my friends list, who are bringing so much joy into my life. Quite a few I've met in real life or at least seen and heard at live gigs. Others are just responsible for me having to buy yet another CD rack... Thanks! ;-)
I am very pleased to announce that the wonderful Flook have now joined MySpace - check out their page here:

My Interests

Music - playing and listening to (see list below). My guitars. My Crane duet concertina. Geekery. Food & drink. A very modest amount of exercise: cycling & canoeing. Dartmoor. Chipmunks . Mediaeval Re-enactment .

I'd like to meet:

Offbeat people. Folks who don't take life & themselves too seriously. People who dance to their inner tune. And those on my friends list whom I haven't met yet.

Music:

Folk. Acoustic. Rock. A few of my favourites in random order: Flook, 422, Tom Robinson, Karine Polwart, Green Day, Seth Lakeman, Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman, KT Tunstall, Lunasa, Liz Doherty, Danu, Show of Hands, ... and lots more.

Books:

Charles de Lint - see The Wordwood

My poor liver...

Looks I'm going to be down the pub much more often from summer next year on - parliament have made the first good decision for decades  and banned smoking in all work places in England, including...

New toys - shamelessly geeky

I'm putting in a few extra shifts this month, so I treated myself (and my loved one) to some more technology in the house.We've been listening to the radio quite a bit recently, ever since we got that...

Connectivity

Wow, my friend list is starting to look a bit like the top few shelves on my CD rack. :-) I wonder who else is going to turn up on MySpace, it's quite a "who's who" of the UK folk scene - and proof (i...
