Composer1, 56

I'm a classically trained composer with interests in the arts, history, travel and foreign cultures to mention but a few. I have dual citizenship with Canada where I lived for over 10 years, returning to the UK in 1995 to continue my musical studies.

I'd like to meet women who have a life that involves more than just kids or grandchildren. Whilst I look for a soul mate, I'm truly happy to make good friends. Having been in music for many years, I've met some wonderful people who have shared their passions. I hope to meet women who want and can share their passions with others too.

I believe I have a good sense of humour and am loyal to my close friends, some of whom have been so for over 25 years.

I'm intelligent and love to learn, even DIY a subject for which those that know me isn't my forte.

I enjoy travel, most forms of music except Pop, in which I include rap, house or anything with a repetitive thud that sounds like someone with a sledgehammer banging on solid concrete.

other than that and of course other people's kids, I'm keen to meet passionate, intelligent and curious women.

The small print: I would politely state that I am not interested in meeting women who are already in relationships unless they only wish to make friends. I take honesty and fidelity very seriously and will not be compromised.
