Ian
There are several things in life
I love most. Most of them are inter-twined around my great love
of live music. The others travel and photography (at which I’m
very bad) led me across the pond in 2004 for Moondance Jam,
where I eventually met Jeb in 2007. I have very diverse tastes
in music running from melodic rock from the likes of Wishbone
Ash and Mike + The Mechanics, through to heavier stuff such as
Whitesnake, AC/DC and Purple. As for the crosswords, well I used
to work away from home quite a bot in the late 90’s and they
were my way of beating the boredom on the train journeys home.
My bit of geekiness. Away from the rock, pics and travel, is my
second love football, or soccer to you colonialists. Getting out
there once every 2 weeks to support my boys in Red n White
Sunderland.
