As you can see i haven't been sat on my arse doing nothing so far in my career although that's not strictly true as this profession does involve a certain amount of sitting around on your arse doing nothing in the nearest pub to the Gig, Session, Tour Bus, Dressing Room, Hotel........................
Still, not gonna complain about that!
I'm also a collector of Funk/Soul/Rare Groove/Disco Vinyl. Original copies only. Don't accept any substitutes! I like to Dj in a dress. Don't read anything in to that. It's purely for stupidities sake. Honest Guv.
And that's about that.
