CURRENT MISSION

Short term - have a great week in New York, Long term - err, never thought that far ahead.

ABOUT ME

I'm 25 and live in London, working as a sound engineer / technician at a subsidised charity studio for the city's yoof... other than that I make a lot of music, go out to more than my fair share of gigs, enjoy taking ludicrously long walks through the city, and occasionally getting obsessed choice TV series (Sopranos, Wire, The Thick Of It, Frasier).
