Tristan Mackay playing in Leeds City Centre - notice the crowd!
Tristan Mackay (and his band, The Bedroom Orchestra) is one of the real gems on the Leeds busking circuit! In his mid-20’s, he has all the class and quality you would find in a highly polished professional.

Your swish is my command!
OK, so it may not have a Phoenix feather in it, but this little gadget is still pretty cool.. I’m not a massive fan of Master Potter (ok, I do quite like the films) but if this is the sign of gadgets to come then maybe I can roll with it for now!

So you’ve found my blog eh? Blimey you must be bored!
You don’t know me, I don’t think, if you do – sorry! I won’t go into all the detail here, you can read about me on the About Me page (surprisingly!).
I am, how shall we say, different – unique! But then aren’t we all? I live a simple life in a complicated way!
This site is meant to be my outlet for all the things which clutter up my brain and buzz around my insomniac head on a night. I’ll simply dump it all here and see what you lot think about it too! You, okay with that? If not then you’d probably better run for your life now, as this place could get pretty mind-blowing surreal at times!! Continued…
