Photography, following my favourite bands, railway signalling, gardening, and reading about social and scientific matters eg politics, philosophy, economics, fundamental physics.
Music
Progressive rock; pagan/goth influences; some classical, folk etc; but very eclectic even within these groupings. See my Bands page.
Movies
Old Star Trek movies, whodunnits, etc. Very few contemporary - I did watch Lord of the Rings but before that nothing since Trainspotting.
Television
Live sport eg Rugby Union, Cricket, Football. Doctor Who is the only decent contemporary TV show, but I also enjoy whodunnits, classic Sci-Fi such as (the original) Star Trek, and comedy in the Monty Python/Blackadder/Spitting Image mould.
Books
Classic sci-fi, but most commonly leading-edge non-fiction. See my book reviews page...
Heroes
IK Brunel; Albert Einstein; John Lennon; my grandfather who worked on the GWR.

About me:
I'm a big fan of classic (melodic-style) rock music and similar genres, and run a modest personal website which includes features about artists I enjoy most. Music has meant so much to me over the years I wanted to give something back, as most artists are far less well remunerated that I am. My site includes websites for a few local bands I'm fond of. I also enjoy photography and sometimes take gig photos for the site. Other interests include railway signalling and gardening. There's something uniquely relaxing about going home in summer and spending half an hour going round the flower beds - it gets me close to Earth after a day embroiled in technology at the office! I am a very cerebral guy, fascinated about many subjects ranging from fundamental physics to sciences of the mind and human affairs.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone with similar interests, musicians whose music I like, and anyone with whom I can have intelligent discussions about life, the universe and everything.
Seeing that you are a fan of EUREKA and hopefully enjoyed the latest album Shackleton’s Voyage, please come and check out my new band project TAURUS and tell me how you like the new song.
Gary and I looked for you at the Drugstore gig, hope you're not too disapointed that you couldn't make it. :( I hope you'll be able to come to the next one, we should hear about it soon enough!
HEY, ADRIAN THE ROCK!!! I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND!!! AND I WANT TO WISH YOU A HAPPY 2009!!! YOUR FANTASTIC MAN !!!MUSIC FOREVER!!! SHAKY DON
Hello,
Thanks for your friendship. About us we're not in this for fame or glory. We
just seek the thrill of creation, and making other people happy. We hope you
like our music and that we were able to BRIGHTEN the world a little. Please let
us know if our goals have been achieved.
Peace,
Griff Kinsey
Hi Adrian, Hope everything is sunny with you. Do you have wild plans for gigs, festivals, holiday or just a lazy summer? I'm okay too ;-)
Please have a look at my site; new interviews and great free gossips about David Gilmour.
Hope you have a great week filled with laughs and daffodils, Nick from the lovely South of the Netherlands @ MostlyPink.nl.
PS I'm allowed to give a triple album away, one disc is for the mind, an other is for the campfire and the last is for the candlelight (Mostly Autumn). And a cd from Riverside, the Polish Rockers ;-)
Hello Adrian! I am really sorry for this bit of shameless self-promotion but I just wanted to remind you and your friends/visitors that our Single “CHILDREN OF THE STREETS” from the album THE SNOW STAR is now available (digital download MP3) on Amazon, iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, emusic, etc.
Hey Adrian! Long time no see... How are you? Hope you and yours are all right and you simply enjoy the end of a hard week! A proposal for this weekend...If you have the time I would like to invite you to check out my web site... you'll find some music from the upcoming Album THE SNOW STAR...
We know there's not much GOLD & SILVER about this year and the kids are acting like BEASTS IN CAGES, but you GROWN-UPS need to find a COOL WAY TO LIVE, so let yourself get LOST IN ROMANCE and indulge all your BAD HABITS this Christmas!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from High Society

Love, Peace, Friendship and GOOD MUSIC!
