I'm a man of ... er ... average means and taste!

I'm from Scotland, U.K. and my interest in music started young (aged 8, full disclosure: ELO). A couple of years later I saw The Sex Pistols on tv and the seed of punk rock was firmly planted in my mind. I came close to seeing them play live.

Aged 13 a pals brother, who was at Uni, took us to see Joy division supporting Buzzcocks. It was an electrifying experience & beginning of being allowed to see bands play live (thanks mum!).

Around 17 I started to develop in interest in traditional music e.g. blues & folk, & went to WOMAD 1985 at Mersa Island: cue my biggest music related epiphany.

I enjoy discovering new to me music, listening to recordings, & live music.

Music has always been an important part of my life.
Not just enjoyment, but also tweaking equilibrium of mental health.
