About Me

Well here it is.....the place where I set the world to rights and believe me I’ve got an opinion on just about everything. I bid you welcome! Thanks for stopping by. I’m 35 years old, I work in admin at Newcastle University; it's ok, pays the bills and keeps a roof over our heads. It's what I do, not who I am, work to live not vice versa. I’m married to the lovely Dawn, who has been my long suffering partner for over 10 years now. I have found no-one more compassionate, kind, and beautiful than her, I count my blessings to have such a wonderful wife. I live in a lovely, extended house in Lobley Hill, and I'm currently working on my first novel!! It's pretty tough going juggling all these projects but extremely worthwhile and satisfying. My advice: Do it while you can. For 18 years now I've played in various bands, mostly rock, all these bands have their own pages on here, so if you can be arsed, go and check out my back catalogue :-) I’m always ready to modestly(!) offer advice (for what its worth lol) to bands that will listen and benefit from my experiences; nothing would give me greater pleasure than seeing your band signed because you followed one of my suggestions. If you don’t then god bless you have a nice life ;-)I do consider myself somthing of an intellectual, who enjoys learning new things and enjoys meeting interesting new people. Nobody knows it all, so keep an open mind and try to learn from the experience of others! So I hope you enjoy reading about my adventures gentle reader as much as I enjoy writing them. Keep in touch! As we move precariously together through this jungle called life, I love to hear from old friends and hopefully make new ones. What is life without good company eh? Remember: 'Ridicule is nothing to be scared of' and that I am always closer than you think........

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Old friends.

Nickelback!!!

 Nickelback were awesome on Monday! Just the tonic the Geordie faithful needed after a crap weekend of relegation blues - a nice bit of rock therapy was called for. I saw Nickelback over 5 years ago...
