Music music and more music to be honest with you. I also play Sunday League football and am a member of an amateur dramatics group called Goldthorn Theatre Company. When not trying to devise a new way of getting rich I tend to go to gigs a lot, including the wonder that is the Leeds festival. Other than that I'm a long suffering Sunderland fan, I'm currently hoping that the Quinn consortium can take us back to our former glories.
I'd like to meet:
Having met an American that could prove I've been wrong all these years (thanks Pip)I now have to think of something witty to say here instead and as I am now devoid of ideas I'd most like to meet a wise magi that could fit in your pocket and whisper witty comments in your ear whenever you required them.
Music:
Your average Indie taste. Favourite current band is probably Hope of The States (RIP, thanks for the memories, say it ain't so etc etc). Loving DTP but not as much as my girlfriend loves Carl Barat. There's also a special place in my heart for the north eastern bands like Maximo Park and The Futureheads. My guilty pleasure is probably Shed Seven.
