Hello Hubpage Chummies

I live in Scotland and enjoy writing articles on Hubpages, both humorous and serious. My main topics are usually travelogues and pieces about rock music but I will write on anything that I find interesting even if nobody else does.

My other interests are travelling. I loved working abroad again and experiencing a different culture.

I like movies especially World Cinema and am a big fan of French films. I like good Hollywood movies too although most of them seem like cartoons nowadays.

I like to sketch when I have the patience, otherwise I just scribble incompetently for half an hour then tear up the paper in an infantile rage and pretend I'm a tortured artist.

I also like to read when I can concentrate or sit still for more than five minutes. Books with pictures and large writing intended for the short-sighted help keep me awake as I need to turn the pages more often.

  Not so 'new' anymore but then neither is 'New York' or 'New Mexico' or even 'New Kids on the Block', 'New Labour' or 'The New Avengers' I suppose. But the best of the old bands of 'Nu-Metal', or 'Alternative Metal' as it has been called, are still around today.

  Hard to define specifically but usually referring to gloom and doom as well as dark mystery and even the grotesque. If you think of the word 'Gothic' then it may conjure up images of horror but mingled with romance.

  "What're you rebelling against, Johnny?" ....."Whaddya got?" That immortal movie line from a young Marlon Brando who snarled and sneered his way across the celluloid in 'The Wild One' almost 60 years ago. The film may have badly dated since 1953 but the look and style certainly has not.

  Buy Scottish Folk Music Online :The albums of Karen Matheson and Capercaille

  9 years ago

  One of the most beautiful voices in traditional Scottish song, if not the best, surely belongs to Karen Matheson. Whether singing in Gaelic or English her velvet tones lend an ethereal quality and atmosphere to Scottish love ballads and haunting Highland tunes.
