I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

About me huh, where to start? Well I'm a User Interface Designer for lastminute.com as my 9 to 5, presenter on xStreamEast radio by night - well, two nights a week at least.
Ideally I'd like to do the radio full time, espeically as I'm getting pretty professional at it now if I do say so myself, but it just doesn't pay the bills. It does open a lot of 'media doors' though and gets me along to gigs, interviewing bands and all-night free bars, which is always a well recieved perk.
I don't take "normal" photos, as you can probably see. God knows why I always feel the need to pull a silly face, but sure enough, it's what I do (as you may have gathered from my pictures).
I'm a typical Scorpio in that I'm determined, passionate, ambitious and head-stong, but I don't really believe in all that astrology malarkey
I am a serial blogger. It's my whole life - literally everything that goes on goes into it - just read it and you'll see that!
I'm currently working on a few personal projects that are taking up a fair of my free time though at the moment. I'm building a couple of websites - one for xStreamEast (as the current one is pretty poor and badly needs updating) and one for Grass Roots (which is the name of the radioshow that I co-present with the lovely Katie Spain ).
My Sites
Oh, I'm about to put a very clever new interface on my profile, hence it being all "plain" for now, but it will jazzier than Jazzy Jeff once it's done - you see if I'm wrong!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The friends I have at the moment are awesome and I wouldn't change them for the World, but I do love to meet new people too. I love anyone that has a story to tell, or who is passionate about something.
Most of all I love meeting musicians. I'm constantly looking for hot new talent to promote on the show as well as finding people who will do live interviews on the air for us.
I'm on gig watch!
I'm currently looking for more gigs in and around the London area to go to and review on the show. All events that I'm invited to will be heavily plugged on air so think of the advantage that it will be doing you to drop me an invite. You know you want to!

Finding Your Style

I've always enjoyed creating art in a variety of formats, and I've always thought that someone should find their style and stick their art around that. After years of creating art in different mediums...

A Case Of The Crabs

It's been another one of those weekends, though this time, I did what I thought I was going to do - sort of! This Saturday saw me and Roz trek down to sunny Brighton for a day by the sea, and what a l...

A Dark Lit Place, Or Your Place Or My Place

For the last five days I've had one song on my head, probably because I keep listening to it on repeat. There's just something about it that makes me want to listen to it over and over again. Maybe it...

Look At Me I'm Sanding-Dee

What do you do when you've spent 14 hours designing and painting a bike that you end up not liking the design? Simple, you get out the glasspaper and scrub it all off, so last night, that's exactly wh...

Guess Who's Preggers

No, it's not me, at least, I don't think I am. Instead, it's just been 'officially' announced that the gobby Welsh singer turned tv host is well and truly up the Hilary Duff. Whose it is, I don't know...

Always Take The Weather With You

One thing will never fail to astonish me about London, and that's the weather. Apart from more tropical climates, I'm sure London the only place on the planet that can have torrential rain one day and...

Practice Makes Perfect I Suppose

There was another big thing that went on this weekend, I finished the paint job on my bike. Hurrah! Shame that I don't like it though, so I'm going to sand it all down and start again. It's not that I...
