Hobbies and Interests

Originally from Wales, I moved to Cornwall in 2007. In my spare time I enjoy playing darts for my local team and Playing for Cornwall County. I enjoy running dart tournaments and socializing with my friends. As I am Welsh I have a passion for Rugby my Club Team the Ospreys and of course my country Wales. Something that has always been a big part of my life is my passion for music from the age of 3 years old i have always been able to play 45's and 33's being able to identify if  the record was on the wrong side just by listening to a couple of seconds of the songs intro. Music has always been a part of my life growing up and very much still is today, I have my own Disco Equipment and enjoy djing when I can.
