About Ian

Favourite Song - 'I Don't Want to Miss a Thing' by Aerosmith as this is the song that reminds me of the birth of both my son and daughter and reminds me how lucky I am to be a Dad...

Favourite Gig - I would have to say my favourite gig has to be the singer songwriter Paul Carrack - each time he just delivers an outstanding performance!

Favourite Film - The Greatest Showman. It's just one of those films I can watch time and time again.

Favourite Place in Portsmouth - There's nothing like a nice walk along Southsea Seafront on a lovely summers day with the family.
