My Interests

If I've done it I've loved it, if I'm still doing it it's a habit, if I haven't tried it yet I'll give it a go.

I'd like to meet:

Bands, fans and anyone who is involved with the music industry or just loves live music.
Come down to The Rock Garden any Wednesday night and say hi, have a beer and enjoy some of the best unsigned artists you'll ever hear :-)

Music:

Every struggling live band I have heard over the last 5 years and in particular the ones with real talent, passion and committment.

Movies:

World Cinema, Coen Brothers, too many to list and favs always depend on mood

Television:

Good documentries, news, british comedy, classic sit-coms, Regency House Party

Books:

Gormenghast, Perfume, Dune, spiritual shit that fucks with your head - Teachings of Don Juan, celestine prophesies, road less travelled

Heroes:

My God and I'm a gnostic

My Blog

Don't Believe The Hype about Artic Monkeys, Lilly Allen and Sandi Thom

BELOW IS AN OLD ARTICLE FROM THE GUARDIAN. A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE STILL DON"T REALISE HOW THEY ARE BEING MANIPULATED BY THE CORPORATES - ENJOY & SPREAD THE WORD :-)Making a song and danceDon't bel...
