About Me

Guitarist for more years than I'd like to confess too. Definitely more than I can remember!Father of one amazing son. I'm a sound and lighting engineer and also sometimes work in stage management and concert stage construction.I've driven minibuses, put up marquees, done lighting plots for TV studios, serviced and installed lighting for night clubs, been a service engineer for Simmons Drums and Roland UK, run a PA system, done house removals, sign written vehicles and even been employed to video a funeral! I love ; tea, prawns, flying, autumn, Thai and Chinese food, the great outdoors, tomato ketchup, that cut grass smell, laughing, being on stage and having my friends around. I hate; hypocrites, pessimists, marmite, traffic wardens, soap operas, ships, kebabs, roadworks, liver and taxi drivers !I've got a new website being constructed which will give access to 2 of my old sites. The Clientelle and the Blondee site. Check it all out at : www.riktaylor.org.
