User:Nick Michael

Me
I am English born and bred, but have lived in French-speaking Switzerland since 1971.

Interests
I am interested in a myriad of subjects, from antique arms and armour, philology and motor bikes to genealogy  and cooking (historical and modern), but the following often take precedence in my life: • German renaissance prints (particularly by the brothers Beham and the Hopfer family);

• Renaissance music, particularly early keyboard music, and more particularly the English 'Virginalists':  Byrd,  Bull,  Farnaby,  Gibbons,  Tomkins, Philips etc.;

• Early drinking glasses.
