I am a musician, a bit shy, I like a laugh and am affectionate. I'm open to new experiences, and am looking for friendship, wild flings, love affairs and fun....
I enjoy walking, reading, going to the theatre (love the Globe in London), going to live gigs and concerts (regular at the Joiners in Southampton and I love hearing obscure local bands, more established bands, orchestras, musicals and even opera once in a while), going to the cinema and eating out.
I'm also willing to try almost anything and am open about starting up new hobbies/sports/activities. I have recently taken up going to the gym and enjoy it (yes, that is quite odd really).
I also support AFC Bournemouth - sad I know but we all have our faults. However despite my team being bottom of the table I'm not depressed about it and adopt a fairly laissez-faire approach to our weekly defeats.

I'm really lucky with my job - music is something I really love (any music, I have broad tastes) and I actually get paid to hit things and teach others how to hit things - yes, I'm a drummer/percussionist and yes, believe it or not, there is a skill to playing the triangle. I teach in various schools around the area and play for a few orchestras and other groups including a brass band based near Salisbury.
More about me below.....
# I love drinking real ale or organic cider
# watching Green Wing/Peep Show/QI
# playing my marimba (like a giant xylophone)
# I'm quite skatty and regularly lose my driving licence/camera/phone/keys etc
# I can't resist walking past a bookshop/record shop without buying something
# But I hate other shopping
# I wish I sounded like Tom Waites
# My favourite book is The Master and Margarita - by Mikhail Bulgakov (but not in Russian, I'm not that clever). My fave living author is Will Self (yes of cocaine sniffing on Tony Blair's plane fame)
# I'm afraid of heights and chickens
# My favourite foods are curry and cheesey pasta (not together obviously) oh and Yorkshire puds
# one of my cats is called farty because when I got him he was a stray who had not eaten for a while and he farted a lot whenever he was fed. He no longer does that although he does like to eat my ear. I like him though, he's strange.
# I spend a lot of time wearing ear plugs....pardon?
# I has magic eyes, they change colour depending on what I'm wearing, sometimes blue, sometimes green.

UPDATE: Have just met someone - wish me luck! Thanks for looking at my profile!
