It happened, it finally happened.

Have you ever heard the Frank Sinatra song, "that's life"? Cause I've been everything he's been and more.

I'm 26 years old, I live in a small town called Leigh on sea which is 40 miles from my hometown of London and my girlfriend and I have both signed up for couch surfing so that we may travel around individually. I have worked many jobs, from fitting the pipes on a few of London's taller buildings, to teaching teenagers with emotional and behavioural difficulties in centres around London and the southeast.

For the last three years I have been the music manager at a small bar called Peggy Sues in Leigh, two of which have been spent living in the flat above. It's been a blast and the parties were great, but after a while it becomes slightly boring, and playing in the same venue 3 times a week takes its toll on any musician.

A few months back in decided I was going to move to Vancouver, and after gaining my Visa and booking my flight I am so close to fulfilling my dream. I leave on October 4th but I am travelling europe beforhand just to see some amazing sights and meet some beautiful people.

You'll see by my profile pics that I rarely go anywhere without my guitar and in this case I am bringing a small guitar to europe with me. If you are a musician I will be getting in touch! If you are a fan of music I will also be getting in touch.

I was played on national radio in the UK last week and as such I am hoping to further expand my music's influence by travelling the world.
Here's a link to the tune, it isn't one of my favourites admittedly, my real music is either soul or folk with a progressive rock twist but this was something else I wrote with a friend. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jjk2Dup4gOk

I am a big history fan so show me some old places.

I am also a fiend for open Mic nights so please take me to one so I can play to you.

Clean tidy guest just setting out on making my dreams come true.

It happened it finally happened.
