I love listening to, playing and collecting music. It's a big part of my life. My favourites include Counting Crows, Train, Ed Harcourt and Ben Folds Five.

As well as a huge collection of officially released albums, singles and EPs, I collect a lot of live music. These recordings are commonly known as "bootlegs" and you can read all about the hobby of collecting live shows and the details of my personal collection in the bootlegs section.

I was in a band called Good for a while -- I play guitar and a bit of piano.
