ABOUT
Played in a metal band around Edinburgh in the 90s and in a novelty band with friends in the early 2000s then let it all lapse while the kids grew up. Got back into playing in the last two years and starting to get the skills back. Reformed most of our 90s metal band with a new drummer and played our first gig at Bannerman's in August 2025.

Influences
Although it was Knopfler that made me pick up a guitar as a teenager, my main influences are much more classic 70s and 80s rock and metal: Richie Blackmore, Michael Schenker, Vivian Campbell, Eddie Clark, Adrian Smith & Dave Murray, Glenn Tipton etc. I'll take a heartfelt bend over a sweep-picked arpeggio any day.
