PAIN IS TEMPORARY...PRIDE IS FOREVER

About Me

hi my name is gareth and i live in a village in between chester and wrexham. I've always played guitar, and used to be in a band called melancholy shopping trolley, now after playing a few open mic slots here and there and recording my own music, i am in the middle of forming a new band with the lovely Louise Priddy who has an awesome voice, hopefully we will have some songs recorded and up on here soon. Meanwhile you will find us at Alexanders nearlly every tuesday night. More about myself, after not knowing what i wanted to do after school i went to wrexham and got a Diploma in Foundation Art and Design. Not sure which direction to go into, TV Production or Graphic Design, I opted for the first and went to Huddersfield University, whilst meeting loads of amazing people, many becoming good friends i also got a BA (hons) in Moving Image. After having the best 3 years of my life I came back home to Penyffordd. After gaining enough knowledge of TV Production, i now make any kind of video goin for anyone that needs something being recorded, from music videos to wedding videos. To learn some new skills I have gone back graphic design, and work full time as a Graphic Designer for a company in Chester. All this designing and constantly having to come up with new ideas keeps my mind very active, so to keep my body active, i now run marathons for charity (Anthony Nolan Trust). Last year i did the New York marathon, and this year to challenge myself a bit more I intend to do the London Marathon in April and the New York one again November (2 in one year!!!! bring it on!!) I've alwys got a website up where people can sponsor me if they so wish, please read my blogs for more info. If anyone would like to know any more info on the marathons or my (our) music, please contact me You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !
