About Me

26 year old hedonist, lives in the East End of London. Into art, music and all-round revelry. Looking for like-minded people in to share in cultural pursuits and marathon drinking sessions. An interest in dark rum and cigars is desirable.Currently working in TV and Radio broadcast industry. Beginning on a venture to set up my own art gallery (check out my website at www.pharosgallery.com), but in the meantime, I'm going to indulge in as much heady pleasure as is possible in our bountiful capital.

My Interests

Decadence, Drinking and All Round Debauchery. All-round naughtiness and jiggery pokery. The feel-good hit of the summer. High jinks. Music, singing in my band The 'trap (check out our myspace), dancing, working out, cooking dinner for friends, drinking beers, camping, tramping about in the countryside, going to festivals, indulging in everything London has to offer. Poetry, romance and dreaming. Good books. Risotto. Clubs, old man pubs, real ale. Buying vinyl. Listening to vinyl. Neals Yard cheese boards. Dogs. Broadway market on a Saturday.

I'd like to meet:

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars
