About Me

I'd say I'm a friendly chilled out fella, easy to get along and have a laugh with. I'll have a conversation with anyone about anything, always got time for people.

In my main day job I work as a bass player for touring covers bands going all over the UK ( weddings, corporate events etc ) Been lucky enough to play with members of Oasis, Iron Maiden and others, missed out on supporting Bon Jovi, gutted about that one.

Also I write and record music for fun in a studio at home, then submit songs for music licensing, to go on adverts and such. Couple of near misses there, keep trying though.

I'm a bit of a geek, love all the superhero films that are out, like being a kid again!
Star Wars, Star Trek, anything sci fi, oh yeah, love em. Action films? It's all good! Saying that, anything with Leo Dicaprio, Tom Cruise, Will Smith or Tom Hanks will be a great film, they're great actors.

I like getting out and about, I also like a bit of quiet time for myself, I like to read a lot, best books I've read this year are "the 4 hour work week " by Tim Ferris, and the Arnold Schwartzenegger biography, both inspiring!

Decided to be spontaneous and do a bit of travelling and have some more great life experiences while I can, you only live once right?

Can't wait to see Australia, any help or advice that you can give me would be really appreciated.

Thanks :)
