That's probably not all- but it's all I can remember for now... which isn't too bad, considering my age and the amount of alcohol I consumed while attending the above mentioned gigs...

I'm back...

I didn't quite know what to expect, thinking myself a reasonably creative person, but for some reason this blogging thing seems not to come too naturally.
This is probably because despite not minding getting up and having a go playing in front of an audience, I'm really quite a private person.
Some people probably think I'm quite a sharing person- but then they probably don't realise how much red wine I had just consumed previous to foisting my viewpoint on them...

A toe in unknown waters...

Here is my first post.
It feels odd, because it's not written in Rotring® ink in a Moleskine® book in a London® Square in my lunch break, but- well, you have to go with the technology, don't you..?
