Hate the Sin, Love the Sinner

About Me

I like music. I listen to music. I play music. I write about music, I talk about music and occasionally I make music. Some of these things I used to do in the middle of the night on XFM Manchester. A CIA operation has since silenced me because of the belief that I was giving away secret information and transmitting codes over the airwaves. However I have managed to infiltrate the All New XFM Manchester Breakfast Show disguised as a Producer. I will now bring them down from within, and you can listen, on 97.7 XFM Manchester. Listen in at www.xfmmanchester.co.uk.I also like Otters.

My Interests

Football, Beer, Music and Chicken Tikka Pies - a simple man with simple pleasures.

I'd like to meet:

DJ Bookings - Wanna book me? Pop me over a message with your contact details and I'll drop you a line right back.

Music:

It it makes me nod my head, tap my foot, drum my fingers or shake my booty then I'll av a bit of it.

Movies:

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Scarface, The Search for the Holy Grail, Star Wars, Ghostbusters, Memento, Platoon, The Deer Hunter, Fat Boy Slim Videos.

Television:

Lost, Family Guy, Have I Got News For You, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Black Books, Phonix Nights, Alan Partridge, Father Ted, Not Only But Also...

Books:

'Things Me and My Girlfriend Argue About' by Mill Millington is blokey genius. 'Is It Just Me or is Everything Shit' - its not just you! Frank Skinners autobiography is, in the worlds of a lazy reviewer, 'Laugh out Loud Funny'.
