**I love music and hate bullshit**

I DJ all kinds of music cos i'm a music lover not a genre hugger and i have a record label called Red Laser.




A Weatherall obsessed head nodder that has championed the genius that is to all and sundry, particularly any girl I happen to be seeing, poor sods!
Huge fan of Jon Dasilva, Justin Robertson, Sean Johnston, Ewan Pearson, Man Power, Leeds finest Clandestino, the incredible Crimes of the Future/Timothy J Fairplay and the fucked up twisted genius that is Ivan Smagghe
I'm pretty stunned that ;
1) I made 40 yrs old 
2) I'm not quite a raddish!!
Take care and keep the faith....

**Update 04/2019**
1)Still not a raddish
2)Even more amazed I hit 50 this year, how the fuck?
Blessed beyond belief to have my little dancing queen alongside me nowadays, the irrepressible JoJo.
Because of ALL the above, I surely win at life?
Peace and love to all, even the shit weasels......
