Social Media

You are here:

I am fairly active on Facebook although nowadays it is mostly just posting my daily Wordle results. I should probably use Twitter and other sites more for promoting gigs etc... but I have got out of the habit of doing this since lockdown. I seem to be doing fairly well for gigs at the moment though, so perhaps it isn't necessary. I also have accounts at Twitter, Instagram, Discord, Twitch, Linked In and YouTube.

I usually log in most days, so that can be a good place to find me. If you contact me through messenger and don't get a response, try email.

I use twitter a bit, mostly to advertise Bang On The Wall Band and Poppy Folk Club gigs. I should probably use it more.

Instagram is an online photo sharing system.

I joined Discord when I started to get into sudoku during lockdown, as Cracking The Cryptic have their fan server hosted there. I am a member of a few other groups there, manily related to sudoku and cryptic crosswords.

Twitch is an online streaming service. There are some great people I follow who regularly stream solves of cryptic crosswords and sudoku puzzles.

Linked In is a networking tool similar to facebook but aimed more at business users.

I often upload videos that I have taken at Bang On The Wall Band and Poppy Folk Club gigs.

Music and Dance

I have been playing percussion in a barn dance and ceilidh band for over 20 years. I also now work as a dance caller, originally with The Bang On The Wall Band, but now with various bands including The Four Foot Four, The South West Ceilidh Band, etc... I was a founder member of The Poppy Folk Club in West Bridgford, Nottingham and still attend various folk clubs, singarounds and music sessions. I dance with a number of Morris sides, and have held the roles of squire, bagman and foreman. I have run workshops in Morris and folk dance, both for complete beginners and for experienced dancers.

Software and IT

I have worked all my adult life as a computer programmer / software engineer. I am currently working part time as Software and IT manager for Lacerta Technology Ltd as well as doing bespoke programming work and website design for private clients.
