    Alex's Interests
GeneralYes, I have interests.
MusicAbsolutely. My life is a continually changing soundtrack.
MoviesWhen I get the chance, I'll watch nearly anything. Though I do have a preference for horror and sci-fi movies.
TelevisionNot really. By and large tv sucks, apart from football. And documentaries. And some other sports.
BooksI always have a good book to hand. Well, actually, not always a good book. Some books are just pants but for some reason I read them right the way through regardless. Apparently, I'm stubborn.
HeroesYes, I am quite fond of that David Bowie song.

About Manor park elite

Formed with the intentions of playing with the idealisms and expectations of the audience Manor Park Elite are a young, energetic and pioneering three piece from the outer-Hebrides of Scotland. The band have already supported the likes of Crash My Model Car, Our Lunar Activities, Angus and Julia Stone and The Wallbirds in the short time since their formation in Spring 2007 and have quickly whipped up a small following in their hometown of Stornoway.

Ta for the add and for checking out Mr.So&So. I see you're a Marillion fan. If you happened to see Marillion on their 'This Strange Engine' tour, you may have seen us as we were the support band. We are supporting them again in Rotterdam at the Marillion weekend (feb). Which I will do under very little protest as I've been a fan of Marillion since Fugazi came out. (alas, none of us get any younger)
