ABOUT ME

I currently live in London, but originally from Lancashire and I guess you'll know more about me from my references. At the moment I'm studying an Masters in Sound Art at the LCC, I work part-time as a teaching assistant, I also work part-time as a barman at nerdy beer pub in Hackney. In my spare time I often make music and noise, often playing gigs across the UK and sometimes Europe and releasing and recording. I read, cook (vegan), watch films, cycle, listen to music etc etc etc.

That's about it for now.

PHILOSOPHY

No 'personal philosophy' as such, but certain quotes and lyrics sit with me better than others,

"Be exactly who you want to be, do what you want to do
I am he and she is she but you're the only you.
No one else has got your eyes, who can see the things you see.
It's up to you to change your life and my life's up to me." Crass - 'Big A, Little A'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosted many in the past, surfed a few times, toured a few times, enjoyed the warm kindness of strangers...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had many amazing experiences through Couchsurfing and feel very humble to have met so many great people. I have made many friends and been able to discover new places.For many years I have housed and hosted many touring bands from all over Europe and the US, mainly from the DIY Punk/Hardcore and experimental and noise scenes. So for me, Couchsurfing is the perfect logical step of this involvement, without so many punks!I'd rather you get a better picture of me from talking to others and seeing my references :-D

Interests

Music, art, philosophy, anarchism, DIY, veganism, learning, going to/playing gigs, self education, travel, meeting lovely folk, new and weird experiences, cats, dogs, cooking etc etc etc I have a particular love of music and have played in various bands and projects over the years. Mainly in the noisier regions of sound and music making. I have also been on several UK tours and European tours and been very thankful of the hospitality around. http://lefthandcutsofftheright.tumblr.com
