Author biography: I was born in Wiltshire many moons ago, and have since lived all over the UK. I have worked at different times in different places as a quantity surveyor, a cloakroom attendant, a barman, a pay clerk, an outdoor instructor, and a management trainer. I have loved music ever since I could twiddle the dial on a radio. My musical highlights include reaching the dizzy heights of grade 4 violin, bumping into Simply Red in a nightclub, and - more recently - singing backing vocals on a catfish website jingle. My favourite bands are Lynyrd Skynyrd, Alabama 3, and Faithless. Check out my website www.langstrathparrot.com for more stories, info and news.
