About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live music please, and loads of trees.

ABOUT ME

I'm a city boy at heart and there is nothing better than a city based near water, which is one of the reasons why I love Liverpool.
An ideal evening is listening to live music with a group of people and a few drinks. If I can do this and discover a great new band on the same night, then that is just fantastic.
I've travelled around Europe quite a bit and also spent a year in Canada, mainly in BC. I just love experiencing other towns and cities and other people's approach to life.
I've just lived and volunteered in Guatemala for a couple of months, which was fantastic.

PHILOSOPHY

Be the fortunate one in the song, and if you can't, just try to enjoy whatever is thrown at you.
