So many to include but my first love is music. I enjoy local bands and going to gigs and festivals. This year i became aquainted with the Shoreditch and Hoxton areas. I love the vibe and great clubs around there. I play drums and have been in various bands. Some of my old bands have got a myspace page. Have a listen to us here:

No year would be complete without Glastonbury if its on and I've been going since 1985. My two beautiful children mean the world to me, however due to my work taking me away for weeks and months at a time they are used to me being a part-time dad. But the times we do have together are quality time and treasured moments. I enjoy travelling around the country for weekends away, visiting Castles or Caves and walks on deserted wind-swept beaches. I love visiting the USA and spend a lot of time in Lake County, Florida. I hope to start spending the autumn and winter months over there. I'm not particularly a fan of football and the only real sport I regularly do, is a dip after work at the local pool.

About me:
Born and bred in London town but now living out in the Shires...I am creative and artistic. Cluttered but clean. I'm laid-back and calm, I'm told I dwell on things too much and I'm great at digging myself into holes that get deeper and deeper. I say the wrong things at the wrong times. I care about others immensely, but I never take people for granted. I'm ambitious and happy. The worlds so big and life is so short and I want to see it all.
Evenin young Phil, hope you're well and that mate, I spoke to Lewis and rumour is afoot that you might be Purple Turtling on Thursday, could this just be wild conjecture or is there proof in the pudding?!
