Interests

  • General


    I love music, both playing and listening. Watching films, cooking, going out and socialising, drinking copious amounts of real ale and cider, tinkering with my studio gear (which I should do more of really). I love cats but hate dogs (vile creatures!). I am a passionate atheist too (perhaps too outspoken at times). My wife is a catholic but we manage to maintain a mutual respect (well, most of the time).

    Bradford - don't you just love it!!

  • Music

    Music is my life - I love dodgy 70's prog as well as most other forms of rock music (metal, punk, psych, indie), I also like a bit of jazz and have recently been getting into Miles Davis. My tastes are very varied. I like anything with imagination or soul. Consequently, I don't like dance music (with one or two exceptions) or rap music. Not too keen on opera either but I do like a bit of classical. There are far too many artists/composers to mention here.

  • Movies

    I love anything with a good story and good characters. I like weird and deep films. Sci-Fi floats my boat. Not so keen on shallow Hollywood blockbusters or horror as a genre. My favourite film is Schindler's List. My wife is forever ribbing me for my choices of film being miserable but I am partial to the odd rom com occasionally.

  • Television

    Dr Who, House MD, Kung-Fu (David Carradine), V, Battlestar Galactica, ReGenesis, The X Files, Quincy, Friends, The Simpsons (who doesn't like that?), King of the Hill, I like dramas and comedies. I used to watch soaps a lot but have been weaned off them (I was getting bored of them anyway). I don't like airhead reality TV. I have to physically leave the room when Big Brother is on.

  • Books

    Not a big reader, probably due to too much studying over the last 10 years. I like biographies but I tend to read about 1 book a year at the most. I very much enjoyed "Inside Out" - Nick Mason's story of Pink Floyd.

  • Heroes

    David Gilmour, Peter Hammill, Peter Gabriel, Fish, Mark Knopfler, Jimmy Nail, Liam Neeson, William Shatner, Rolf Harris, John Shuttleworth but most importantly, my father.

About me:

Hi, I'm Alec (not Alex) from Bradford, Republic of Yorkshire, North of England.

I am married to the most wonderful lady in the universe and have been since August '05 (see pics).

In my day to day life, I am an Electronics Engineer, working for a consumer electronics company who design and produce digital television receivers. It's kinda cool but sometimes difficult.

For kicks, music is where I'm at. Over the years I have been in a few bands such as Dark Embrace, Dawnraiser, Purity Cries, Reeved, Jigsaw Culture, Wild Trash and most recently Suicide By Cop. I play mainly guitar but also play a little keyboards and enjoy singing. I have my own home project studio that I don't really put to enough use but I tinker from time to time. For information on all of my musical activities, both past and present, you can visit my Music MySpace Page

As well as creating music, I have had some experience of DJ'ing in Bradford rock pubs The Mannville Arms for a couple of years, The Empress (RIP) for around 5 years and before that The Smithy (RIP) for a few months.

I have also had some experience in promoting gigs and club nights, which is one of the things I currently do for The Zuu Bar, Bradford. I have also had a little experience in live sound engineering (although not too much).


You scored as atheism. You are... an atheist, though you probably already knew this. Also, you probably have several people praying daily for your soul. Instead of simply being "nonreligious," atheists strongly believe in the lack of existence of a higher being, or God.

Who I'd like to meet:

Anyone really, I'm a sociable kind of dude! I like my rock music and am interested in hearing from similar folks.

A bleeding heart liberal's worst nightmare - I am quite opinionated about stuff, I don't like religion and I think religion and the concept of god is impeding the evolution of humankind (the secret is to bang the rocks together guys!). I am anti-feminist (although far from being chauvinist), pro-abortion, not exactly pro-hunting but not sure I agree with the ban, I am an omnivore (I love vegetables but I will never give up eating meat) and I don't like parasites - I work hard for my money and my home and don't see why people should get theirs for free. No I don't have any spare fucking change!

Believe it or not though, I do respect anybody's viewpoint and in fact have many good friends who do not share some or all of mine. I won't be preached to and I try not to preach.
