I'm 49, I was born and still live in Shaw near Oldham, Greater Manchester, England.

I enjoy playing bass & guitar and drawing when I get the chance. I walk the dog a lot too!

I did a City & Guilds in photography at Tameside College in Ashton-under-Lyne after leaving school.

I've also got a YouTube channel:
