Hobbies and Interests I am an avid armchair supporter of Birmingham City Football Club and have supported them for the majority of my life. I really enjoy photography, maintaining a Flickr account, and took my first real photography opportunity whilst in Iceland on a geological fieldtrip which was a part of my A level Geology course. Music is a big part of my life having seen a range of groups live, the most notable of which is a reformed Guns N Roses featuring Axel Rose. I also play piano and guitar and have achieved Theory of Music: Grade 4 and Practical Piano: Grade 4. References Available on Request
