CURRENT MISSION

Complete my album; find a new band - find some future security and a home.

ABOUT ME

I'm a musician and love to travel. I have had to update my profile as a lot has changed in my personality, life and beliefs. So bare with me..a big change is that I found God and became a Christian; but I am not super evangelical so don't worry.. but I do enjoy a good discussion and am not easily offended :-)

I often play at folk sessions and spent this summer playing some fairly big UK festivals. I had a blast but sadly my band broke up - I am hunting new collaborators now - and I may travel to do it.

PHILOSOPHY

Seek truth. Make good music. Honor your friends and family.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

OK one thing I've done...

I participated in the Occupy London movement and had many, many insane adventures, met many fantastic people, played amazing music, performed a long poem outside the HQ of Royal Dutch Shell...watched Russian acrobats swing from the ceiling of a 150 + year old court house we occupied... ended up visiting Occupy Margate.... haha. Too many things to summarise. My life has been a bit strange.

Teach, Learn, Share

What can I teach? I think that's a very difficult one. I tend not to specialize.. but I have a bit of knowledge on a variety of subjects, mostly music. Wanna learn banjo? ;-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Honestly, I can talk for hours and hours about many things!
