Dilettante Music

Sometimes I think classical music is like tomatoes or olives. I couldn't stand them when I was young either, but now I devour all three!

I'm a listener and concert-goer, but I am in the foothills. My talented, beautiful wife is leading me in the right direction.

I was elected to the London Assembly in May 2008 and also appointed Deputy Mayor of London with responsibility for policing.
