If there is anything else you would like to share with the team about yourself, please do so:

I'm the bassist in a band called CITRUS (@thecitrusband on Instagram; sorry for the self promo). We formed whilst we were studying at university and we have been gigging across the North East ever since! One of our biggest fans is my hamster, Stella. Also, unrelated but I love doughnuts.
