About Me

hmmm ... what can i say about me ... i'm a thirty-something (ok ... late thirty-something) divorced dad of 2 lovely kids, and i'm getting married to my beautiful fionky next year (and before you start barking up the wrong tree ... don't ... because it is the wrong tree and i'd hate to have to climb up there to help you down ... i don't do heights!).i LOVE music to an obsessive degree, and spend my time seeking out the next great singer/songwriter to blow my mind ... altho' i'm really just filling the gaps until the boss (brooooce) releases something ... anything.i sing in a band with a few mates and we get a kick out of this like you wouldn't believe. someone recently had the audacity to suggest that at least we weren't kidding ourselves that we'd be discovered, signed and "make it big". boy were they embarrassed/mortified/put right immediately when they discovered the mildly pathetic, but very real amibition to the contrary ... :o).so ... that's me ... just an ordinary guy trying to make his way through a heartless world, guided by my very own angel by my side and 2 little crackers looking on ...hope, whoever you are and wherever you may be, that your world is a happy one!
