About Me

I'm a music lovin',hitch-hikin', brandy drinkin', mountain bikin',song singin', rock climbin', green smokin', nature-respectin', multi-instrumentalin', outdoor pursuitalist. Among the instruments that I play are: guitar, piano, mandolin, irish bouzouki, harmonica, organ ( Has to be a Hammond, or at a push, Vox Conti)and synthesiser (but I try not to if I can help it); although I can get a tune out of many other things with varying degrees of success.Most people who know me would tell you I'm an all round nice guy, I'm always there to lend a helping hand, and am well humoured; Sometimes my humour is a little harsh but nobody minds because I can take as good as I give. I am, however a little eccentric, which gets me into trouble sometimes, but one man's trouble is another man's adventure, and I do like an adventure. A career would, no doubt ruin my life(style), this does not mean that I'm work shy, I am very practical with a wide range of abilities, (the name Fingers & Thumbs is a tribute to my most valued commodity, and in no way means I am clumsy), perhaps you are a farmer or you're having an extention built, if so and you need some short term labour, I'll be happy to assist, you just have to ask. So if you see me at the side of your journey, please stop and pick me up, I will be amiable and polite whilst providing good company and maybe a few laughs along the way; I can assure you that, at no time, will I try to suck out your brain and steal your identity, I have one of my own and have grown quite accustomed to it. Until then, happy travels and feel free to say hello before you leave.A 'big up' to the knights of the road, since there could be no hitch-hikers without hitch-hikees! Our fire is forever in your favour.Take the quiz:

My Interests

I love live music, smaller venues are better. I love the jewel that we all live on, it provides for us all and I have a great deal of disdain for those who don't respect it. My thumb is incredibly strong, as it can stop a fully loaded truck; this is handy as I can then jump in and have it carry me somewhere new and exciting. All my digits assist me greatly in much that I do, from playing instruments and whittling nik-naks to horticulture, construction and general creativity or manual labour.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who's up for a laugh, or inspires, educates, entertains or motivates. Anyone with a true appreciation and respect for our home planet and it's inhabitants. All my friends from myspace and the bastard that nicked my bike (Silver Marin with skinny wheels last seen in the Orford area of Warrington, outside Dubs house.) You know who you are, but if you're reading this you really ought to give the computer back to whoever you knicked it off you thieving little scrote

Music:

What I'm listening to just now...

Heroes:

Ranulph Fiennes, Che Guevara, Tom Waits, John Peel, Jo Whiley, Mark Radcliff, The Milk Tray man, Hong Kong Phooey, The Diggers and Levellers of the 17'th century, and, in fact, everybody who ever achieved anything, particularly for the greater good, and without stomping on the rest of us.

The words of Leonard Peltier

Silence, they say, is the voice of complicity.But silence is impossible.Silence screams.Silence is a message,just as doing nothing is an act.Let who you are ring out & resonatein every word & every de...
