Music is an important part of my life - I listen to my music for at least four hours a day! OK, maybe a bit less at weekends, but then hopefully that's 'cos I'm off to a gig somewhere... I am mainly into Neo-Rockabilly & Psychobilly (what's that?!), hence the hairstyle, the clothes, the odd tattoo and so on... Also, I get an excuse for having a thing about Bettie Page. Yum! Due to past misdemeanours I also have a soft spot for New Wave punk, The Stranglers & The Revillos/Rezillos!

If music is a big part of your life too then we'd probably get on. At least, I'd accept drinks off you!... I might not like your musical taste, but at least you have an opinion! Nothing turns me off more than people saying they 'like a bit of everything'. Argh! They don't mean that; they mean that they have no taste - an absence of taste, worse even than poor taste! And, surprise surprise, although they like a bit of everything, they never like my stuff. Well... fuck 'em! Heh! Heh!

This page has some links for my favourite bands, some recent gig photos, and what I rate as a few of my 'Top 10's. If you violently disagree with my choice of tracks (Westlife fans need not apply!), why not mail me with your suggestion? I'll give it a listen and if you're right, well, I'll update the list & credit you, plus you'll have the deep satisfaction of having furthered my musical education. Of course, if you're wrong you've wasted my valuable time & owe me a beer. And yes, I'll travel...
