UK computer science and music geek who is more likely to correct little things like spelling, grammar or layout than add something useful...

Big contributions[edit]

I am most proud of my work on Merrie England (opera) - I expanded the single line article with full plot details, musical numbers and information on the music and libretto
I created the page on Basil Hood though it is far from complete!
