Welcome to my sexy new born blog.

Hello,
I'm Stephen Wilson, I'm a singer songwriter living and working in County Durham in north east England.
I thought I would start a blog as  I have a lot to say, and sometimes 140 characters just isn't enough.
Basically, this first post will just be me introducing myself and trying to get used to the whole blogging thing.

Here comes the big stupid list of things I am/have/do...

So yeah, I'm 20 years old living in a town(/shithole) called Willington. I have a 2 year old son named Isaac Joseph Towers who I'm sure will feature in these posts from time to time, as I love him more than life itself. I am a musician, (if you couldn't guess that from the title of this blog then please leave now) I'm studying music at Gateshead College/Northumbria University and I sing, play guitar, bass, ukulele, and have recently taken up mandolin. I'm recording my debut solo EP which will be called work in progress and you can see the cover art from it to the left of this text. I'm also a huge movie buff, I've lost count of how many DVD's I own, and yes, I have watched them all. Last but not least, I am a football fanatic (soccer for you americans who decided to adopt football as a name for your sport which uses mainly hands) and I support Newcastle United Football Club, and always have. Coming for Europe! TOON TOON!

Now, for the important bit; what you can expect to hear me ramble on about in a blog.

I'll let you all know how frustrating it truly is being an artist and trying to get your work recognised by anybody who isn't related to you. I'll try and offer any advice where I can, and I would gladly take some advice if you have any to give.
I'll probably let you know any good and bad experiences I have while at a gig, and I'll keep you all up to date on the creation of the EP, which is proving much more problematic that I originally thought!
Occasionally, I'll talk about films, my crazy nights out, sports, or maybe just life in general (which is also proving to be much more problematic that I originally thought.).

Okay, this was only meant to be a short post, and it's gotten a bit wordy so I'll sod off for now. But I'll be back shortly to explain more of my inner workings!

Until then, gan canny!

That means take care for all of you not familiar with the geordie dialect...

Stephen.
