One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Three friends and I made fake VIP Artists passes to a World Music festival. We went to the hotel where the musicians were staying, got welcomed onto the bus after the driver saw our laminated passes. The bus then took us from the hotel straight into the VIP area at the festival to join our musician 'friends'. My graphic design studies had finally paid off!

Teach, Learn, Share

I play guitar and am very passionate about music. Love to share great music with people, some of the unknown, some of the forgotten.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some laffs, and maybe a sing-along.
