Music mainly, but also film, dancing (see music), playing the flute (see music), singing alone or with others(see music), reading and scuba diving.I tend to go diving on holiday and my favourite divespots are the very south of egypt and Sulawesi in Indonesia. I am a divemaster, which means that I can assist in courses and lead dives. I also like to cook and eat good food. I have quite a varied social life and find that there's always more things happening that I can get to.
other like minded musical individuals and anyone who wants to do some music with me - folky/country voice, good at harmonies. I also play the piano and the flute (but not at the same time as singing. I'm not that talented) and guitar - though my guitar playing is a little rusty... am brushing it up right now as of April 2007 after a fifteen year break!
I have a serious addiction to music - new music, live music, catching up with old bands that I missed out on first time round etc. etc. This means that I have a large music collection (vinyl, cds and mp3s) and that I'm running out of storage space (virtual and real). My taste is quite eclectic, though also quite discerning as well. I get most excited by live music though, especially if it's something that I can dance to as well.Some artists I like: Dolly Parton, Nick Cave, Julian Cope, Amadou & Mariam, Gogol Bordello, Oi Va Voi, Jim Noir, Michael Nyman, Gorillaz, Nightmares on Wax, Sophie Solomon, Chemical Brothers, Basement Jaxx, ACDC, Hayseed Dixie, chumbawumba, Martin Carthy, Demon Barbers, Dreadzone, Salsa Celtica, The Bays, Lou Reed, Velvet Underground, The Cramps, Bobby McFerrin, Cat Empire, Freestylers, Mariza, Cheikh Lo, Penguin cafe Orchestra, The Specials, The Beat, Sheila Chandra, Carole King, Zero 7, Zap Mama, Temple of Sound, Cinematic Orchestra, The Earlies, Ben Harper, Adam & the Ants, Afro Celt Soundsystem, Baka Beyond, Aphex Twin, Alabama 3, Amon Tobin, Lo Jo, Angel Brothers, Ani Difranco, Gotan Project, Nitin Sawhney, Red hot cHilli Peppers, Rodriguez y gabriela, Talking Heads, The Streets, Brian Eno, Mad Professor, Misty in Roots.......
