Music, mainly indie - serial gig goer, writing, films, art, reading, travelling, dancing, swimming, theatre. When time allows sporadic bursts of gardening and cooking.
Gig/festival buddies. Can you recite the complete works of the Smiths? Do you remember the eighties? Are you well travelled? Are you an amusing muso without a debilitating drug habit - own hair and teeth preferred but not essential. Do you sing badly in the car? Ever slipped on a banana skin while descending a mountain? No - just me then! Do you cut to the chase and are "tempus fugit", "carpe diem" or "life's too short" your mantras? Have you tried to get your mum into the arctic monkeys? Are you available at short notice for activities such as dancing and laughing? If any of the above apply to you come on down!
