Simon Who?

Simon who?

Le Geyt....

....it's french and means 'The Sentinel'. The family hails from Jersey, where the name is quite common but in the 1950s we were the only Le Geyts on the mainland. There are bloomin' hundreds of 'em now, though.

I'm the first Yorkshire Le Geyt, born in Huddersfield on Long Tongue Scrog Lane (pity the postman with the possibilities of mis-spellings there). I've lived around here most of my life and in the past ran a couple of businesses. Some people know me as a guitar player.

I now live in Shepley
