About me:

Hello you, thanks for dropping in and having a gawp at me. Those who know me will vouch for what a thoroughly lovely specimen of blokness I am! (and soo modest too!) I love to laugh and make others around me laugh, I've been told I'm more fun to have around than a bagful of breakdancing monkeys! (although this was said during a rather booze soaked conversation). I live and work in the sunny concrete metroplois we lovingly refer to as Brum (AKA Birmingham). I work as a Graphic Designer for an agency and love letting my imagination and creative juices flow when I get the chance. When I'm not slaving away over a hot AppleMac, I'm usually found filling my time with Music, hanging out with my friends, riding around on my Vespa (the Modernist lifestyle is tres importante!) or just generally being a right little social monkey - all in all, Lifes Good!

Who I'd like to meet:

Lovers of life and all things fun. People kind of heart, gentle of nature, sweet of disposition, and faithful and true in virtue. And if you've got killer taste in good music, love the mod scene, appreciate the classic lines of a Vespa or Lambretta, and will do absolutely anything to satisfy a longing for good Sushi, then you're in like Flint with me! THIS IS A SELECTION OF SOME OF MY ARTWORK THAT I'M CURRENTLY WORKING ON. I'LL BE PRODUCING AND SELLING THESE AND OTHERS AS LIMITED EDITION PRINTS LATER THIS YEAR, SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN GETTING YOUR HANDS ON SOME COOL-AS-YOU-LIKE MOD ART, THEN DROP ME A MSG AND WE'LL TALK. I'M ALSO TAKING COMMISSIONS TOO! SO IF YOU 'RE LOOKING TO CREATE THAT ONE OFF GIFT FOR THE SOMEONE SPECIAL IN YOUR LIFE THEN LOOK NO FURTHER.

HEY CLUBS! I ALSO DO FLYERS, POSTERS AND ALL MANNER OF PROMOTIONAL GUMPF TOO!

    hi mate, how you doing?
  • Aug 23 2009 2:14 PM

    Hi Nick - Hope you're well?

    I am just writing to let you know that we are staging our debut album launch party / celebration in central London on SAT SEPT 26 and we'd love you to be there.

    It's at CROSSFIRE 14, one of the UK's most popular 60s, mod & northern soul events and the DCs will be on stage at around 9.30pm wth an enlarged band and special guests with an amazing allnighter spread across 3 separate rooms following the live show.

    DJs at the event include Russ Winstanley (Wigan  Casino), Ady Croasdell (100 Club), Rob Bailey (Beat Bespoke, New Untouchables), Brian Rae, Miguel Ygaza (Mushroom Machine, Spain), Rogeer Banks, Val Palmer, Dave Greet, Alan Handscombe, Jim Cox, Joe Dutton (Backbeat), Pete Tebbutt (Talk Of The South), Speed, Stephan Golowka (Up Club, Germany), Coffin Joe (The Horrors), Scott C (Lava Lounge).

    Tickets cost £12 (£8 NUS / ES40 card)) which is a bargain really.

    The show is being held inside 229 The Venue opposite Regent's Park.

    There will be a collectors limited edition double A sided single from us released on the night "The Contessa" / "Snake Charmer" (on good old vinyl) with the album "Six Against Eight" coming very shortly after :)

    Hope you can make it - please let us know if you want any tickets :)

    All the best!

    Er yeah....I kind of got overly drunk the other night and started exploring an unfinished attic in the dark and ended up falling through a ceiling panel and dangling into someone's kitchen - HAH!  Kinda mauled my leg in the process.  Good times, good times.  ;P
