"... kick off your shoes, put your feet up, lean back and just enjoy the melodies. After all, music soothes even the savage beast."

What's yo' vocation?
I dashed up to Welly about 2 weeks ago after being won over by it's busking/music, bar scene and hordes of stunning lasses. I am an aspiring musician who hopes to make his mark in Welly and really begin to focus on my personal music; I'm in the (lengthy) process of recording an EP of solo pieces and also have a whole bunch o' other EP ideas in the think-tank. A big goal for Welly is to hit the busking scene - I have garnered a ridonkulously-impressive busking setup which essentially allows me to become a one man-band, albeit a rather poor one (until I dish out a sexy guitar solo that is). I'm gonna be working my tits off to try and network, gig, write some kickin' tunes, join some kingin' bands and shove my music down as many throats of the adoring public as possible.
I expect I'll eventually get lynched.

I've been working the past 5 years in hospo, mainly working as a bartender so when my bank runs dry you'll nae doubt see me either dropping flat whites or muddling mojitos. I have a strong distaste for hospo, having been known to yell at and berate customers (the customer's always right my arse!) but my strong passion for alcohol has become a double-edged sword; allowing me to escape the horrors of hospo at the bottom of a bottle yet also dragging me back to work with my knowledge of the heavenly liquid. As such, this year is really for me to get my music rolling. I'd better get started.

Tells us about yo'self, oi you
Well, you already know two of my biggest passions. I also get my kicks out of flicks, drawing, writing, travelling, cooking and indulging in the glorious discipline of Hat-Time. I have a blog which I update roughly every month; it focuses primarily on my musical aspect but also includes snippets of my daily life. I was raised in Port Vila in Vanuatu for the first 4-5 years of my life before my family moved back to Shakecity. I've indulged in a small amount of travelling having lived in Scotland for a year and Jersey (in the Channel Islands) for 6 months; unfortunately I did nae get to do any proper travelling around Europe as I had planned due to that bloody Icelandic volcano, but my travels did allow me to have fights with millionaires, arguments with mercenary trainers, be threatened by drug dealers, lob cakes at Rolls Royces and fall madly in love with some of the best peeps possible. In hindsight, it was quite the adventure, and that's all I wish to do - Adventurise.

How's your abode?
Right now, I'd say it's roughly 95% complete. It's looking radtastic but I've got to stick up my wall decorations and buy a bedside table or something. In comparison with Regano I am the complete opposite; I can't stand a messy room and I like to survey my estate from the comfort of my bed. And in my opinion, I've got a fucking mansion.

Much love, hombres.

- Oi, you (Nick)
