ABOUT

* In a band at the moment *
(But could be tempted by the right band ……..I love the band I’m in, but we’re pretty inactive, 1 gig in 5 years, I need a bit more than that)
**Guitarist looking for band to join
You can hear songs I’ve played on and Co-wrote in various bands over the years on my soundcloud page. Experience of playing live pretty much every venue in Glasgow and a few in London
Had some success in late 90’s early 00’s, My bad was played by Steve Lamacq or radio One on a few Wednesday evenings, and had some record company interest, didn’t quite make it to the heights of fame though. I left the band for personal reasons.
I’m more of a “song” guitarist, definitely not a shredder, I like to get a good hook or lead part on a song, less is more most of the time, but I can let rip a bit if it’s called for
I've Played in a few bands over the years, self taught by playing along to records since I was 13, never had a guitar lesson, I can pick up new songs pretty quick.
All the bands I've played in have done original material, so i'd be looking for something along those lines.
If there’s a drummer and bassist out there that can play like The Who ,Young Man Blues , Live at Leeds/ Isle of Wight era I’d be extremely interested….
Would consider something a bit different, I like bluesy rock but also like spaced out trippy ambient sounds and loud raw stuff , The Who The Verve, Primal Scream, Oasis……… from bluesy to Noisy and back again , pretty much open to anything along those lines. No Metal , heaviest I get is Led Zeppelin
Quit playing in bands around 2010, but eventually got back into after a break.
I’m 53 now
Pretty easy going, no big egos please, and very committed if I find the right band
Any of this sounds remotely interesting to anyone, get in touch.
I have some stuff on soundcloud from over the last 25 years or so years, bands I've been in and a couple i recorded myself, give you an idea of my playing.
I don’t drive so transport could be an issue.
Based in Paisley, west end.
