About Me

Great gig. Wish I was a better cameraman...



My Interests

Music. I play lead guitar in a couple of bands, keyboards and enjoy writing songs. Also look after The Mutton Birds Myspace page.
Football. A Nottingham Forest fan for my sins (I must have sinned a lot).Keeping fit (well trying) and getting about and trying my best to enjoy the bit between being born and the last breath. Life’s too short right???
