About Me

well, i live in manchester and as a child i ate an entire bee whilst cycling at high speed through wepre woods. i'm in a band called palmstruck. i sing either with a guitar, a piano - or at extreme altitudes - a bassoon / piccolo. i love my bandmates (even the one who's leaving us to become John Craven - long story). in my spare time i enjoy judging talent competitions for gifted owls and feeding cola cubes to koala cubs. i enjoy the word 'paste'. if i was an animal i'd probably be a sledor loris; if i was a house i would be a lean-to; i have never completed a technically correct somersault; i can swim at bronze award level; i have an inexplicable fear of moths. and if you add water to me after midnight i'll punch you in the face.

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !

My Interests

playing music that surprises me, listening to music that surprises me, reading in front of a real fire. watching films i like with friends i like. drinking booze i like with friends i like. a theory i call 'Mad Pants' (people whose pants reveal too much sock are always without exception burdened with mental illness. think about it - it's a fact.) thinking about 'daily mail' readers exploding en mass.
