'it's all about the shoes'

About Me

I work behind a bar and own a parrot called flossy... I put gigs on once a month called tiny cat presents at the atrium... I play songs sometimes, mainly in the disco that is my head... I play in 2 and a half bands, the civil service and the seven inches. and a secret one. I also own a slide projector... I also play a glockenspiel and can be hired out as a human map (good sense of direction)... I will one day spread the word...word up! I collect badges and music boxes. And ties and silly shoes.

My Interests

in the civil service and the seven inches, so music, playing the drums, learning to play guitar (im rubbish) and banjo, reading, films, going to gigs, putting gigs on at tiny cat, i was a non drinker, i am still trying to be a non drinker, but then i find a bottle of pimms and it ruins the whole tee-total affair. xxx
