These pages serve almost as my autobiography and provide a "complete" catalogue of my gig/festival-going experiences plus some lists and other odds and ends I've felt compelled to include. I have subtly built these pages into my main website so they can be viewed by all. Feel free to delve and look around but please bear in mind that all of this content has been written for my interest and not with any intention of captivating an audience. I have thus concentrated on recalling as many details and thoughts as possible: probably more than anyone would ever care to read, but I like having a complete record of the event, even if some thoughts may bore or offend people!
