Festival: Sziget Festival, Hungary, August 2004 |
| Favourite
Venue Played & Why: Harburn Hall in Livingston,
because of it’s unusual nature, being a hut in the middle

gigs. |

| Best
Job Ever Had: Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2005
– Sound engineer for various classical ensembles as well as
lots of other work – it was better than an office or a bank. |

in Livingston |
| Hobbies:
Everything music related, writing odd lists,
reading about stuff…umm, I actually spend too much time with
music now that I think about it! |
| Likes:
Music and all its disguises, anyone who can
take a joke, fasting, secrecy, openness, wearing my slippers all the
time, hearing new underground bands for the first time that I just
love and thus being reminded that there is some great music being
made these days. Animals, family photos of friends, going to bed when
you really need to and anyone original. |
| Dislikes:
Kraft
Cheesy Pasta, Grotesque images on mYsPaCe, Beer Sponsored Music Television,
people on Internet Forums, lack of professionalism, Nicotine Patches,
Stiff Upper Lip, Famine and Disease. |
