The home of Les Ainsworth,
or to offer my full name, Leslie William Ainsworth

Me at the Rock & Roll House, Benidorm, summer 2016

Gidea Park

Situated within walking distance of Romford, Essex (but far enough away for us Gideaparkites to call ourselves a civilised society), the area has an interesting and rich history, about which much has been written, so we won't go into it here.
Meanwhile, we celebrate having Raphaels Park to the West (Disputed territory this, rather like Kashmir, but it's ours when the sun shines, and Romford's when the maintenance bills arrive), and Gallows Corner to the East (one of the most dangerous roundabouts in England - keeps unwanted visitors away).
To the North we have the A127, mercifully separating us from the strangers beyond, and to the south there's the London to Essex railway line, soon to be incorporating CrossRail (great for the value of our properties).
Within these barriers, we have a delightful mix of residents, businesses, and life.

The purpose of the web site therefore is simply to demonstrate my abilities, as such, on the piano & keyboard, and guitar (which I started learning in 2011, and still haven't got far !)

Till I get the site properly populated, you can see a few video's of me on the keyboard, and a few others, including film of the Cabytu Brothers, Simon "Elvis" Patrick and others, shot at the fabulous Rock & Roll House, and the Levante Hotel, both in Benidorm, Here
