Me? I'm a passionate, hardworking honest Yorkshire lad. I like to travel and go off the beaten track with a rucksack - my five trips to Africa have really opened my eyes to the world. At home I keep fit and regularly work-out and go walking or running. July 2013 sees me taking on the British 3 Peaks Challenge to raise money for my girlfriend's charity. My brother taught me how to play guitar when I was twelve and I've never looked back - there's not a day i'm not writing or playing music on my six-string Takemine beauty. I find it hard to relax what with running a four-floor pub in Bath city centre, but usually a nice massage or a good book helps. I have two taste buds - cider and chilli - and I like to experiment with both. That's me.
