In His Own Words
About him
I'm warm, intelligent, kind and a good listener. My sense of humour is sometimes quite black as well as - hopefully - fun at times. I really enjoyable banter as well! I spent four years at the Royal Academy of Music, then another four years at Abbey Road Studios editing EMI's classical recordings. I've also (briefly) produced and directed television programmes for the BBC and British Satellite Broadcasting. I spent some years choral conducting, both in London and Northern Ireland, where I currently live, but am very open to relocation. I have skied, paraglided and played tennis and really enjoy the open air and being by the sea!
About his ideal match
In my last relationship, I found myself very happy when we were doing simple everyday stuff together, like shopping and just watching tv or a film. If I feel calm and serene in my lady's company, then that's a very good sign for me. A love for classical music and even jazz and big bands would be a real bonus! Unselfish kindness and a listening ear ranks highly with me - sometimes I just haven't experienced much of that in some of my previous encounters! As a wise lady once said to her husband: 'Honey, listen with your face!'
