Waiting. Moving, always.

About Me


Favourate song at the moment is 'Come In Stranger' Johnny Cash.
I work within the live music industry and love it...used to do merchandise and general tour assistant work for bands. Examples; 3 Colours Red, Hondo Maclean, Days Of Worth, Million Dead, Hollywood Ending and Spill Canvas, fond fond memories. I have also repped shows for a couple of local promoters who have given me the opportunity to meet a few very special people within my life today. Many thanks.
No furniture, but I have a great view over a park. Fair trade.
Touring = Big Smiles. Simplicity is best. Explore explore explore and surround yourself with people who excite you.
I ONLY add people who I know and bands that I love, mkay?
I like being around people who have a passion for what they do, are never bored and are always willing to have a go at something. I love miss-hearing things, noise and lots of it, SLEEP, being outside, MUSIC, blueberries, real coal fires, packing a suitcase (pillowcase, whatever), good company, letting go, frisbee, whiskey (rum will also do just fine), TEA, freedom, pushing myself, antiques (men excluded), anything with character, owls, honey, hugs (men included), GREAT ENERGY, autumn, FLYING, the smell of coffee, learning, fairies, escaping, ginger, Vienna and the pianoforte.
I find it difficult to stay in the same place for too long. Take a left hand turn, see where it takes you. I want to find what makes me smile, and try my very best to keep whatever that may be. I would love to be able to write something that I like. Now that we are acquainted, dance with me.
