- About me
I’m a sixty something musician that’s spent a lifetime immersed in music. With the exception of a few brief spells of petrol pumping, nut and bolt shovelling, oh and porridge oat dispensing (don’t ask). I have always managed to earn a living from the music business, either as a musician, a record shop manager, recording engineer or proprietor of a music shop. Despite all this professional activity I’m basically a punter at heart, and nothing pleases me more than sharing my musical loves with other people. For the last three years or more I’ve been blogging about music – now I can bore you in person!
