About Me

Well where do you start ,long hair(gone now) and all that stuff saw me at Art College when I was young, and when i should have been working hard, i was! but on the road, as a roadie for various local bands and a few big ones as well.I love being outdoors and that reflected in my artwork and now my photography.Going to get the ole brushes and oils out again and see what happens.Love music all types,love my family, wonderful wife,two stunning daughters, fantastic son in law , and my little man my wonderful beautiful grandson, friends who I can trust and give me honest criticism and advise(good or bad);and I intend to enjoy what I have left on this earth.My life is good. Learning guitar slowly and looking for somebody daft enough to gig with me.I, I am proud of my Northumbrian/Border roots ..Well thats about me, a little old fashioned but hopefully to be seen as honest and sincere,I think I need to grow up and act more like my age!!!! nahhhh bugger it I,m only here once sod them.Take care everybody

My Interests

Art, music and the great outdoors.Archaeology

I'd like to meet:

Paul Kossoff and tell him to take a step backwards,look at his life, slow down and become one of the greatest ever guitarists and also show me a few decent sounds!! Peter Green cos he still is with us and is one of the greatest blues guitarists...and hopefully he will show me how to play !!! Seth Lakeman, outstanding talent,taking folk music to a new plain John Butler cos he,s awesome.The man himself Mr Paul Weller ..pure power. Richard Hawley because his music is from the heart I cried listening to the wonderful Coles Corner...Pete Bowkis to find out why?..what the hell happened?Mick Aston/Tony Robinson of TimeTeam for doing something I never had a chance to ..lame excuse but true.Leonardo De Vinci to watch a genius at work.Joseph Mallord William Turner aka JMW Turner the greatist artist ever in my eyes ..
