About Me

Living as a student in the great city of dreams that is LEEDS! Just trying to play as much music as possible and go to good gigs and have a laugh and stuff like that. Might make a little music page and put some of my stuff on soon. Who knows!I'd like to meet... Lots of people who are dead (mostly jazz people), James Brown pre-wife-beater years, myself in a random social situation (I want to know how I come accross). That's it really. I ask very little of this world a href="http://myspace.nuclearcentury.com" style="position:absolute; top:0px; left:50%; margin-left:-235px; z-index:9; width:80px; height:15px; background-image:url

My Interests

I like lots of music, a bit of art and read the occasional book. My favourite nights out are gigs, pubs and sometimes clubs- as long as they don't play loads of R&B because that's one of my anti-interests. I really love composing music of different sorts and playing jazz on my own or with other people and I enjoy playing a bit of big band music with the wicked LUUDB! (www.myspace.com/luudanceband)

Books:

Time of our singing is my favourite book to date. Obscure. I don't know how to choose books. I tend to go by the cover- as does everyone despite their denials. Ha! No, I don't really read that many. Probably should have left this bit blank

Heroes:

Mingus for playing dirty jazz. He also talked in a really cool way and had soul.
