ABOUT ME

I am a eccentric fun loving guy with very strange tastes! Whilst I work as an orchestral conductor my true passion in music is Elizabethan church and dance music. I like to travel, eat out, and spend time with friends or getting to know new people. I also love film, theatre and architecture. I have strong ideas and opinions but i try to keep an open mind and my opinions are always changing as my knowledge expands.
