My Interests


Apart from listening and playing music I hold senior grades in both Kung-fu and Karate.
I also write poetry and lyrics.
I read almost anything and when time permits I like hanging with friends - even better if alcohol is involved.................you'd understand if you knew my friends!!! :0P
I also enjoy Burlesque shows and vintage Pin-up art.

I'd like to meet:


People with something interesting to say and of course other musicians (especially those that may require a bass player Heheheh!).

Music:


Sleaze, rock, metal, funk, pop.........awww - just listen to my radio station below!

Television:

Don't do much tele...........if it's on it'll be comedy such as Peep Show, THe Mighty Boosh, Family Guy, American Dad or stuff like Never Mind The Buzzcocks - perhaps a decent documentary. NEVER will it be the cheap 'reality t.v.' rubbish. Producers - GET AN IMAGINATION!!!
