Male, 31. I have been playing drums since I was 5 and bass for the last 9 years. I have played in some great bands and have recently come from a Ska/Reggae/Funk band. My biggest gig ever was in front of 40,000 and my favourite gig ever was at the VW Whitenoise yearly event. My old band 'The Good Times' headlined and the whole tent jumping around and dancing to our music and some great covers. That's the buzz - writing and playing good music and having a total cataclysmic reaction from it!!!

Paradise Living
Paradise Living Year: 2010 Genre: Reggae
A feel good song - 'Paradise Living', written by James Summerhill in my previous band called 'The Good Times'. I played bass and sang backing vocals for this band. It was recorded at Leeders Farm with producer Nick Brine. James actually wrote this song in Barbados!! It's a shame we never got to record it with horns as our brass section joined the band after it was recorded. Good vibes with this song though!! :)

Pina Collada
Pina Collada Year: 2010 Genre: Ska
A really fun song about a women's favourite drink - 'Pina Collada'. It's about sun, sea sand and drink fuelled sex! Oh and definitely NOT forgetting all the sexy ladies of the world!! Music written by myself (hence the bass solo - lol!!) and words written by Jamie Cann. This was also recorded at Leeders Farm by Nick Brine - Great production for just 1 day's work!
