I'm a big fan of swing, but I also enjoy Rockabilly, Ska, Psychobilly, Punk, Blues and Soul....Although anything from Billy Joel and Prince, to Pantera, Machine Head and Sepultura, to the Black Crowes and Guns and Roses, to the Baha Men, to Bach, Bryd or Pachelbel... depends on my mood really.

If you're viewing this there's a very good chance you probably already know me anyways....or you've randomly been surfing through people's friends lists....or you've only recently met me staggering around drunken in some club somewhere....
Either way....hello!!! If you know me already then you already know me enough not to bother reading this...but yeah...facts about me...hmmm......I talk bollocks a lot....and I play guitar, piano and I'm re-learning the violin....I'm a little obsessed with swing music....I'm a bit of a geek...and I work in a bank....oh, and I'm mint....
...I've also recently joined a new band, with ex-Rank bandmate Alex Hindle, called There's a Ghost Party in my Bedroom. Watch this space!
I like: hot curries, being a videogame geek, playing guitar and piano (hating violin at the moment because I forgot how bad I was), building stuff, breaking stuff, building stuff again...
.....You've probably realised that I also like my shirts....
I don't like: Rudeness, Vanity, moths, buses, the general public...
