Sorry, can't remember. Did i mention music?? Bikes, books, movies, friends (as in real life ones, not the tv series! although i do like friends. The tv series now, not the real thing. Well I do like the real thing... you get the point!)
Music
Bought up on Dire Straights and Pink Floyd
Friend introduced me to Guns and Roses
Then Red Hot Chili Peppers, Faith No More, Classic Rock, Bon Jovi oh so many bands
Marcus Miller, Stu Hamm, Victor Wooten, Stanley Clarke, Ani Difranc0, Jazz, Blues bit of everything really. Except country!! Maybe the Eagles though :)
Movies
Mmmm all of the Matrix, Usual Suspects, Point Break, Scrooged, Disney!!, Just saw V for Vengeance really really good
Television
Simpsons, Family Guy, New Battlestar Galactica, America's Next Top Model (don't ask!!)
Books
Real weakness for horror, especially vampire stuff. Currently reading Paradise Lost and enjoying it, don't understand a word of it but enjoying it
About me: Ooooh now there is a boring story Ha Ha. I am somebody who gets accused of trying to do too much.
I love music, what more can I say. Playing it, listening to it, meeting other people who love it, play it etc.
I have been playing bass for around 9 years now and have been fortunate enough to play sessions live and in the studio for some great people but more important than that I've had a blast (in the main part ;) )
I recently took up teaching which is really cool and I feel honoured to be able to see students come on in their playing ability and see them develop a love for the instrumemt.
Other than that I am getting into motorbikes, which is kind of contradictory to playing music as a minor spill left me unable to play for 6 weeks (oops).
Other than that the usual stuff - movies, books, drinking, poker and generally anything to have a bit of fun!
Who I'd like to meet: Flea - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Stanley Clarke
Stu Hamm (did that, would do it again!! Nice bloke)
Marcus Miller
Al Murray (Funny, funny man)
Jenna Jameson (vague impression she would be a laugh to have a beer with )
Allan Burls - Barefoot Bass Player's Friend Space (Top 12)
Allan Burls - Barefoot Bass Player has 132 friends.
Hope you're making the best of the sunny weather - string vests and knotted hankies all round!
Mrs CALISTO and I have been ignoring the atmospheric clemency and have instead locked ourselves upstairs at Avenue Studios (yep, we've moved on from Pete's Bedroom Studio and now have an entire room dedicated to dust-gathering guitars and a ropy old PC!). and have not one, not two, but THREE new tracks for your entertainment pleasure.
We're busy working on more originals which we'll be posting soon, but in the meantime we hope you'll enjoy our tributes to the Beatles, Scouting For Girls, and even Oasis...
As usual, get comfy, take a listen, the write nice things on our page so that others will think we're far cooler than we really are.
Holla!!! With more people using the internet everyday M-acy.s has decided to put millions into marketing online.
They figured the best way to get started was to give away a bunch a free g.i.f.t. c.a.r.ds. Youll kill yourself if you miss this I already upgraded my wardrobe.

The 3 bands with the most NEW believers get to play a Sellaband showcase at Gibson Guitar Studios, London on 5th of June. So far I've got a good chance!!! Thanks so much....
Hey Allan! Many thanks for your kind words - I really enjoyed myself yesterday. I know, it has been far too long since I played - not quite sure where the time went. There will be no stopping me now! :-) You guys were awesome as always, was a really nice contrast having the full band with all the acoustic stuff! See you soon! x
Hey Allan! How are you? Thanks for accepting, I am Fran's friend if you were unsure, we met properly at 93 Feet East last week. I hope everything is well with you, and I'm sure I'll see you again soon x
