Music, Movies, and Books

Bookseller of Kabul is my latest fave. However I read anything from Scott Fitzgerald to Wilde. I used to devour books. Music wise very open minded anything from Folk to Dnb to Punk.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Touring with the band around Spain;
relying on the kindness and friendliness of strangers, playing in a communist squat in Malaga, improvising jam sessions in the middle of the Spanish mountains, making lifelong friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can speak English, a little Norwegian and Spanish. I can play several instruments and would be more than happy to teach guitar and violin. I have lived in Leicester for many years and know all the good places to go. I also lived in Manchester for 4 years so if anyone would like advice on where to go there. I may also have some friends there who would let you stay.
