It'd be great to know if you think there are things that need improving or strengths I should concentrate on, so send me a message and let me know what you think.

My Interests

Singing, song-writing, skiing, sciency things. I've studies computer science and law, but that's bit much like work these days.

I'd like to meet:

Ummm... people for a band. Also clever people with too much time on their hands to waste time with. The love of my life would be nice too I guess.

Music:

Prefer up-tempo stuff with lots of ideas - the genre is not so important. Favourites include 60s pop/rock (e.g. The Beatles, The Kinks, The Zombies + heaps of others), older jazz and show music (e.g. Gershwin, Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, etc), classical music (Stravinsky, Puccini, Britten, etc).Some local bands I've enjoyed recently are: Mr Bamboo, The Camels, The Maladies, Van She, Waiting for Guinness, Samurai Black, ...

Movies:

Good ones and bad ones. The in-between ones tend to be a bit dull.

Books:

Anthony Trollope, Thackery, Gogol, Jane Austen, Mervin Peake, ... I prefer the old stuff. I'm a bit of a Scientific American junkie.
