And you're the measure of my dreams...

About Me

Well, I've recently had a total change of path - I was studying to be a solicitor, but decided I wanted a change of scenery... so now I'm training to do rope access on oil rigs. It's a bit of a drastic change, but I'm really looking forward to it!
I've been playing keyboards since I was a nipper, and have a home recording studio stuffed full of whizz-bang toys. I occasionally get my arse in gear and write a track, though most of the time I just use it to make mad noises and giggle - it's either lack of talent or writer's block - I'm not sure yet.
I'm also into Thai boxing, and I train at Wicker Camp in Sheffield - a very cool place over a steel works.
Yeah, erm, I guess that's it...
