Gender	Male
Location	Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
Introduction	I am a 22 year old Trumpet player from Northern Ireland. My interests lie in performance and the composition and arrangement of Jazz music. For relaxation I enjoy Photography, Books (not reading, I prefer to lie on them) and Philosophy/Psychology. I also like sleeping when I can.
Favorite Movies	Godfather Trilogy, Star Wars, Star Trek, Commando, The Road to Perdition, Lock Stock, Jurassic Park, Alien(s), Predator. Basically Sci-fi or Gangster, though not ignoring comedy - The Parole Officer, Me Myself and Irene, Ace Ventura!
Favorite Music	Most Jazz appeals to me, anything with interesting harmony more-so. I also have a real fondness for Classical music. Listing artits/composers would be incomplete and messy!
Favorite Books	I like biographies, they are often very interesting, especially the Jazz musician ones. Miles, To Be or Not... to Bop (Diz), Charlie Parker, The Cutting Edge (Rollins) etc... "Touching the Void" was an amazing book about a mountaineer - well worth the read! I am also reading about: Sharks, Philosophy, Psychology, Harmony and Photography.
