Friends With Lighters

About Me

My name...is Tom McGibben. Friends With Lighters is my own personal project that carried me through uni and a little bit beyond. It was never meant for public displays...but if you like it, please let me know- it's always nice to hear. I currently play banjo with some other wonderful people in The Cassini Gap- give them a listen- it's a folky smooth treat for the senses. My music... is whatever has sounded nice to my ears over the last few years. I don't like to write within genres, (however precocious that may sound!) and I like to try and do something a little bit different. But you can be the judge of that!

I wouldn't do what I do without years of other people turning me on to styles and songs, not to mention just being there to jam with.Enjoy.Thank you for reading this lengthly explanation. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
