First and foremost, playing guitar and throating with LIBIDOSWITCH, my blood, my life. Trying desperately to keep the Irish Hardcore and 'TRUE' punk movement alive!.My darling nieces, Broaghan and Caitlin, and my nephew Ruairi, the next generation of mofo's. I'm into strong literature, the beat generation writers, Kerouac, Burroughs, Ginsberg, Hunter S.Thompson, Bukowski, Huxley being my personal faves.All styles of music from Goth to metal, metal, Punk (REAL Punk), and Hardcore in particular! Like Art a lot too, tattoo's, of which I've to get many more! Currently pretty well cut up, my guitars, screaming with 43 seconds, good solid 'REAL' people, people with nihilistic tendencies, basically any form of outward expression attracts my interest, shouldn't keep anythin' bottled up!!!
Just about anyone into anything, as I said, liberally-minded!Bruce Campbell, GG Allin or Rory Gallagher would be a nice wee bonus though.BRUCE FUCKING CAMPBELL IS GOD. I'd also buy much beers for Bono's and Robbie William's assasinators.ting"
