We do not stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing !
The chances are you the reader of this is much younger than me and I prey you follow your dreams and do the things you want to do before it’s too late! It was always drummed into me how I was supposed to act and how I was supposed to look! I guess I was brainwashed into not being me! No tattoos and no piercing Now at forty it’s a bit too late and I really do regret that! I only just started playing the guitar recently (about thirty years too late) My parents were very poor and could not afford to buy me a guitar & they never encouraged me anyway.
Teenagers look at people like me and they just think we are old but inside I am still nineteen and that will probably never change! I’ve just been to a NOFX gig and it was full of teenagers & I’m sure a couple of them in the queue were looking at me as if i shouldn’t be there but, NOFX are my age!
The last twenty years have gone so so fast... so Just don’t blink!
I went to Stoke Hill Infants School, Stoke Hill Junior School and St James High School.
I’ve worked for Crittall Warmlife (Windows), G H Newbury & Sons (Scrap Metal), Interplas Windows, Aspect Windows, Mackenzie windows, Interplas Windows (again) I now work for myself! I started in 1996 and love working for myself! If I finish the work I booked for myself at say 2pm I can go home and practice the guitar!I married Debbie on 16 Nov 2006 we met on 31 December 1998 I love her loads but don’t tell her enough! (typical male really)
I love punk and most things with attitude!
