Barry's Blurbs |
About me:
I'm married to a fabulous lady and have a beautiful daughter. I'm 42, never thought I'd get here. Just like I never thought that I'd see the New York Dolls. But here I am and I've seen them. I can still skateboard and music still gets my heart beating a little faster. I work in radio and teach audio engineering. Live in Buckinghamshire but want to move back to my home county of Cornwall, my wife loves it and it has good skateboarding! Radio needs me there I think.
|
Who I'd like to meet:
Skateboarding punk rockers who realise that punk doesn't mean living in 1977 and mutilating your face with bits of metal. It's more punk to direct others to live their own lives in a caring and loving manner.
Also anyone who can help me realise my dream of presenting a radio show with a hugely eclectic mix of music, and make documentaries about obscure post punk record labels.
