Where do you start? I’m a 44 year old bloke who would easily pass for a 30 year old (honest) and was definitely destined to be Paul Weller, Jack Johnson, Roddy Frame, Bryan Adams, Neil Finn, Chris Martin, David Gray, and Chris Rea etc etc – ok you get the idea, just born in the wrong body!!!! I’ve been strumming and plonking since I can remember – if I remember right it was a Bontempi organ and a Hondo guitar as long ago as the seventies – aaarrggghhh.

I have played in a number of bands over the past 15 years or so – mostly covers in pub bands and enjoy all aspects of music. I play the rhythm electric guitar, acoustic guitar, and keyboards/synths with equal vigour. I can also do limited backing vocals – I am not a lead vocalist but given the right songs and keys can add some nice lower harmonies where they count.

At the moment heavily into anything acoustic and real music performances – I have written loads of bits of songs and have plenty of ideas and ambition. I am looking to join other like-minded musicians who want to perform quality gigs and even write or record some original ideas.
