"I wish I had a saxophone, I'd play the blues 'til you came home"
Aside from my desire to get out and about in the world, my first love is music. I play guitar and sing in two rock bands: Station Agents and Trashtown Thrillers. My tastes are Hard Rock, Rock 'n' Roll, Blues, Metal and Jazz.
I also have a passion for European History and continue to study it, particularly French, German and Czech 20th Century history.
I work within the cultural and heritage sector, attempting to make historical information and museum collections exciting and accessible, and also informing people that culture and the arts are our education and entertainment, and not just an indulgence for the middle classes.
Alongside writing music and fiction, I also write for the excellent music website Uber Rock - http://www.uberrock.co.uk/
I intend to travel through more of Europe's cities (then beyond!) so I can study the people and the architecture and just generally enjoy myself tasting the local drinks. I fell in love with Prague through an INXS video and have loved it ever since.

» Ask Craggy a question about Brighton.
I was brought up on the Isle of Wight and lived there for over 20 years. I've spent a long time exploring places on the Island, and have taken friends on tours. Please feel free to contact me or see my blog entry if you need any help.

I have a vast knowledge of the Isle of Wight and a good knowledge of Brighton and the surrounding area. I am now discovering London so I may be able to help with that. I study modern British and European History, so if you need any historical information to help with your travels then please ask :)
