I was born

In the 1970s

First Gig

A late starter going to gigs, I think it was probably Bon Jovi at Wembley Arena circa 1987.

Yeah - be jealous.

Actually, don't. They were terrible (this is bearing in mind the fact that I thought they were good back then). If it takes until the chorus of a pop rock song to know what they're playing, that should be ringing alarm bells. Mind you, the Shed must take some of the blame for that.

Beatles or Stones

Beatles

Strange Fact

I have a condition called 'cross lateralism' which has to do with which sides of the brain process signals. It's a bit like dyslexia and means my spelling isn't great and I can't catch. At least, that's what I always blame.

My favourite band in the world is Marillion, but I think I probably have to take responsibility for that one myself.
