Not particularly a serious person unless chatting about music. Someone once told me I could string a sentence together so here I am. And like a bad habit that you can’t kick, I’m still here, years later and helping keep the place afloat. Still waiting for the day Mosh sacks me…

Favourite drink: Strong black coffee.
Favourite food: Bacon. Because that is the right answer. Or a Bunnyman’s Chow or a toastie from The Rock and Roll Toastie Co. at a festival
