Hi, I'm originally from the UK and I'm in my second year at university in February studying Music Composition and Theatre (my profile photo was taken backstage during a production of 'The Importance of Being Earnest). I've played clarinet for about 5 years now.

I learn't a bit of german through high school and university and I'm not particularly​ good at it.

I'm sort of shy at first so get to know me before you judge me.

Anything else? ask.

People around my own age with anything interesting and intelligent to say. I'd especially like to hear from people in the UK, Germany or Austria, but if you're from the US, NZ or any other part of Europe I'll look forward to hearing from you.

Nobody from Africa or the Middle East please and if you're going to add me at least leave a message saying who you are.

I'm slow when it comes to learning languages, patience is required.

Music (clarinet, bass clarinet, soprano saxophone and piano), theatre, aviation, cycling, amateur filmmaking and more.

Mainly Classical, Jazz, Reggae, 80's rock. Can't stand rap and heavy metal as far as I see it, it's not music.

Death at a Funeral, Sweeney Todd, 300, Amelie, Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead, Casino Royale, Dr No, From Russia with Love, Master and Commander, Amadeus, Immortal Beloved, Dark Blue World, Battle of Britain, The Italian Job (1969), Nightwatch.

The Young Ones, Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, Monty Python, The Office, Blackadder, House, Boston Legal, Facelift (NZ programme which makes fun of politicians and celebrities)​.

Pride and Prejudice (yes, I read it without being forced to) basically anything by J.R.R. Tolkien, Bernard Cornwell, Ian Fleming.

"On the page it looked nothing. The beginning simple, almost comic. Just a pulse - bassoons and basset horns - like a rusty squeezebox. Then suddenly - high above it - an oboe, a single note, hanging there unwavering, till a clarinet took over and sweetened it into a phrase of such delight! This was no composition by a performing monkey! This was a music I'd never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillabl​e longing, it had me trembling. It seemed to me that I was hearing a voice of God."- Salieri (from Peter Schaffer's Amadeus)
