Hi I'm Steve and I've lived in East Grinstead with my family for about 12 years.
I've worked in broadcasting for around 25 years as a cameraman working on music and sport shows as well as some big national events. Music has always been a major part of my life both at work and at play. I'm a huge fan of Radiohead and Brian Eno. I enjoy classical and avant garde modern music. My taste is very eclectic and covers pretty much everything except rhinestone-encrusted "the dogs dead and my wife's left me" country shmaltz (I like the more sincere authentic stuff) and misogynistic and pretty pointless (in my humble opinion) Gangsta rap. Currently in the CD player in my car is Goldfrapp's Seventh Tree - favourite track Little Bird.
