ABOUT
I am an Irish Londoner, who until recently was recording and playing occasional gigs with a band of old friends back in Ireland. I am male (had to add this here based on the contacts I've had so far) and 50 although I have the reading age of a 42 year old.
I'm seeking good musical company here in London. I play the guitar (electric and acoustic) and sing, and have lent my hand to bass when needed. I write songs; two of the four songs below are penned by me. I love to practice, play and perform but I'm not obsessed by having a paying career. I'm really keen just to get together with folks and make music.

EQUIPMENT
I have a good few* guitars. I can never bring myself to sell one. Mostly I like playing a telecaster, or a Taylor acoustic.
I have a couple of small practice amps - good enough to gig a small venue - but mostly I play through a little Blackstar head-and-cab.
