Believe it or not, I find it extremely difficult to write about myself with any kind of skill, in fact, a good friend of mine has recently alerted me to my lack of self awareness. I suppose in a lot of ways, this section in itself should prove to be as revealing to me and it is to you.

I'm a 31 year old male who has attempted to go through life being as good as I can to whomever I can, value my friends and take any opportunities I make for myself. Has it worked? In a lot of ways, it most certainly has, and I've got a whole bunch of stories to tell for sure. In other ways, there have been a lot of mistakes made and there's no doubt in my mind that selfishness is a skill which should be admired rather than reviled.

 I am most definitely multifaceted, and this is reflected throughout this site. I am a writer, a performer and a geek, and I’m damned proud of all three!

The writer in me is only re-emerging having been dormant for over a decade. I’ve been published many times for my articles on music, culture and sport. Hopefully, some of these articles will appear on the website once I find a scanner that doesn’t take up most of my desk….

The performer in me couldn’t lay dormant if I tried. I just love entertaining, in whatever format that takes. I’m as happy playing the jester to my friends as I am playing the villain to 1500 strangers.

The geek in me is the one natural ability I was born with. The curse and blessing of having a logical mind has forever been with me, and manifests itself in my day job as well as some of the crazier projects I have completed (or half completed in some instances).

So here I am. In all my lack of glory. Celebrate me, admire me, pity me, disrespect me, just never bore or ignore me.

I'm far from a hoarder, but I tend to keep what I consider to be "accomplishments" in my tiny world. A lot of the articles are interviews with bands or album/concert reviews, and brings back a lot of good memories for me. Whale, Therapy?, POTUSA, Black Grape....

I've kept a lot of the bad stuff too, as it's good to look back on rotten writing and see where I was making mistakes. Write, read, learn, rewrite.... (or so the course says :) )

Just discovered this site exists. UKFF and all. Have to ask though... what made you keep old stuff you wrote? Any particular reason?

I was convinced to let them go and move on when I stopped writing for too long. Even though it's nothing to do with what I'm attempting to write now, I feel guilty for having thrown it away.

Though oddly I still kept the first short story that was published in a crappy magazine.
