About Me

Give me an apple and Ill give yer a smile. Give me a song and I'll try not to sing the blues.. I'm hugely passionate about music and sound in general, it gets me up in the morning..er..mostly. One day I aim to work on a film that joins the weird and wonderful forces of Tom Waits and Tim Burton.. This film will change lives, for the better or worse I'm not sure. I have a passing flirtation with ol Jim Morrison. . . I'm a festival junkie, all types, I love the idea of a escapism and music bringing people together.. So hit me with that rhythm stick, hit me hard and we'll hit the ground dancing.a

My Interests

Music, playing guitar and trying to play the harmonica. Juggling, still trying to get mills mess, seeing as many different types of music as possible, buying second hand books(a little too much)
