I am passionate about human and animal rights. In my last job I worked with homeless people and socially excluded people. In the past I have worked as a radio presenter, music journalist, on line journalist, event organizer, stage manager, and in music insurance. I have played keyboards and guitar in various bands over the years but luckily for the music lovers out there I am not currently performing. Apart from music I am interested in films, art, politics, the environment, literature and history. I am not a fan of anything right wing or field sports. In the last few years I have suffered a large number of bereavements including some of my best friends and both my parents which lead to a period of prolonged sadness and solitude. However I am attempting to kick start the next part of my life and am trying very hard to rediscover the fun, happy, life and soul of the party person I used to be. I own a large Siamese, Ginger Tom cross bread cat who naturally views me as staff.
