Yes please, all sorts... although no thanks to most of the cruddy bands that try to be my friend here.
Movies
I have a vast chasm in my memory when it comes to films. I don't remember film titles, plots, or actors/actresses names.
Television
Boring.
Books
Shamefully, I readily admit that I don't read nearly enough. I'd rather be DOING something than reading something, but I know that is still a very poor excuse.
Heroes
Zip. [[[That means nowt, not Zippy from Rainbow]]]
I played sax for a chunk of the CHROME HOOF European tour from 20 Feb - 8 March(HOLLAND, BELGIUM, GERMANY, ITALY, SWITZWERLAND, FRANCE). Massive thanks to them all for having me on board, it was a right good laugh and a joy to take a break from driving! Here is a clip of me playing with them, though it's really bad quality and I'm just off screen for most of it, hah.... Chrome Hoof - Tilburg 013, 22 Feb
in the rest of my time, i will be found listening to music, tootling my clarinet, honking and skronking my sax, or twinkling my ivories (plastic). eating vegan feasts. putting on DIY gigs in leeds (sadly, increasingly less common as i'm so busy being away on tour). releasing records. making websites. going to gigs. volunteering in my local community. growing veg in my allotment. reading about politics and the environment, generally getting angry at the state of the world whilst trying to overcome my short concentration span and remain positive and active.
CHINCHILLA-TONE have releases out such as a cassette album by PIFCO and the debut 'PINE CONE EXPRESS' COWTOWN album on CD! Future stuff involves the likes of:::
a 12" LP and CD by a.P.A.t.T. CLECKHUDDERSFAX CD
we also run a non-profit distribution of records from the chinchilla label, friends' labels, bands i've toured with, and stuff we've picked up from bands that we like... you can find the cheaply priced records (vinyl, cd, tape, etc) at any of the gigs i'm at.
please give preference to and look at proper websites, they are better than this homogenous s(h)ite.
the bands/music that i'm involved in creating are....
