About me
- Likes dogs, being outside and eating curry.
I am a business owner, musician, introvert, geek, and probably lots of other things besides.I am from Wales in the UK, but I have lived in lots of different places - seven different countries on three different continents during the past 15 years. Moved back to the UK recently, and we are now based in Cardiff.
Married to a brilliantly amazing Norwegian girl called Ollie, and we have a small dog called Chilli, a slightly mad staffy that loves fresh fruit and barks in her sleep.
I love music of all kinds, shapes and colours, and spend most of my waking hours obsessed with the stuff. I write and record all sorts of nonsense, some of which can be found over on the 'My Music' page.
Update [May 2012] : It's been surprisingly good to be back in the UK again. Cardiff is treating us well - I am learning to play the cornet, cycling around parks with the dog, eating large amounts of curry and generally enjoying life.

Status
- Waiting patiently for my shiny new silver cornet to be delivered. Got a txt this morning saying it will be here between 12:48 and 13:48. They've got 54 minutes left...
- Ollie, Chilli and I have decided to move back to the UK for a wee while. Leaving Spain at the end of the month. Curry anyone?
- Thank you all you lovely Facebook people for the birthday wishes! A good day was had - walking in the mountains, visiting wee villages and eating brilliant food :)
- Sickened by the shootings in Norway. How did it take the police an hour to get there?!!!
- Hope all our Norwegian friends are ok!
- Very much enjoying our new Spanish home. And now we've got internet sorted, we might even be able to get some work done.
- Trying to get Internet at home is proving tricky. Want to avoid opening up a Spanish bank account if possible. Any ideas Spanish friends?
- Found a place to live!
- On the road again. Cadiz minus six hours and counting.
- Seriously, you cannot go wrong with food in Spain. We have been eating mostly at roadside cafes, and the food has been as good as anything we had in Italy. The fact that its dirt cheap just makes things even better.

Asido Caesarina is the old Roman name for the town we settled in, Medina-Sidonia, down in Cadiz province. The name Sidonia is apparently the old Hebrew name for the Phoenicians, those purple men that cropped up in a previous song of mine.
