ABOUT
Hi my name is Matt, i'm from Wellingborough. I've being playing just over 7 years now, I started between moving from GCSE to A-Level's. Now i've finished my degree i'd really like to get more involved in music. While I don't have any formal certificates or anything like that, I think I can play to a fairly decent standard, take a look at my videos and mp3 :). I'm looking ideally to join an established band rather than form my own. My biggest influence without a doubt is the late great Gary Moore, which his seminal 'Parisienne Walkways' started off my musical journey. I enjoy listening to and playing various types of music all the way from 'The Shadows' to the polar opposite of Megadeth and everything in between. Take a look at my influences section to get better idea.
