hi - I have been a fire performer for a couple of years now & work with fire poi/snakes & more recently fingers & fans.
My husband & I run an event managment business and have worked all over uk organising and taking part in live shows.
Check out redcrow.info and myspace.com/firestar08 - I have recently moved to Scotland and need someone to practice with!
Name: Mel
Location: Edinburgh, Scotland
Hometown: Lisburn, Northern Ireland
Birthday (sign?): 11th August (Leo)
Sex: Female
Occupation(s): Event Manager/Administrator/Fire Performer
Favorite Food(s): noodles!
Favorite Color(s): yellow - the happiest colour!
What is the wing speed of an unladen swallow? dont know... and not really interested in knowing.......
Toys: poi, snakes, fingers, fans
Hobbies other than the obvious: music, dancing, travelling, anything that makes me laugh!
Education: all from the great school of life
Favorite Book(s): Fantasy, horror, comedy
Favorite Movie(s): Horror - scary get inside your head type - also anything that makes me fall down laughing
Godzilla vs. a Star Wars Star Destroyer. Who wins? Star Wars Destroyer..... Why? i dunno
Favorite TV show(s): Dont really watch much TV - prefer to listen to music... I do like comedy sketch show types, & Shameless
Plans for life in general: (i.e. what you want to do when you grow up) - keep running away with the circus at every opportunity!!!
Favorite Music Artists/Composers: Love most kinds of music, from rocky stuff including Nightwish, White Stripes, Green Day, Placebo, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen to dance like Faithless, Chemical Brothers, chilled out music like Massive Attack, Rob Dougan, Bjork, also have moments of 80s cheesy pop like Duran Duran!
As for live music - you cannot beat Saor Patrol (my husband is the bass drummer!)
I usually leave my music on shuffle as I never know what I want to listen to...
Do you think these pants make my butt look too big? off course not!
Favorie ice cream flavor(s): Haagen Daas Strawberry Cheesecake
Marmite, Vegemite, or Nutella?* NUTELLA - yum yum!

Hi, welcome to HoP!
You'd probably have more luck finding people in the 'Events' and 'Meet Others' section. Though feel free to fill out the template and tell us more about yourself!
