About Me

What you can hear as you read this (unless you've got your volume turned down, or a faulty sound card, or hearing issues . . . ) is one or other of my compositions recorded in demo form by myself. I am a songwriter, and I don't pretend to be a great singer, musician or indeed a master producer. In fact, if anyone reading this DOES fall into any of those categories, please get in touch as I would welcome your help to realise these songs' potential. There will be a website up and running Spring '08 where you can interact with me better than MySpace will allow, but in the meantime a few thanks.I am quite a shy introvert type of Guy, and without these people this page, and the music it represents, would simply not exist. So I would like to thank my biggest ally and staunchest critic, my best friend Roxanne, my family for giving me a little more confidence, and for unstinting support I thank writer, director, impresario, all round clever guy (and a nice bloke too) Paul Reynoldson aka The Colonel aka PaulReyno.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 31/08/2006
Band Website: coming soon to a screen near you ....
Band Members: Everything that you can hear is performed by Guy Young. Amongst the instruments you hear are:DRUMS - By Acoustica Beatcraft and Audacity BASS - Harrier bass guitar / bass synth KEYBOARDS - Yamaha / Evolution MK261 / Korg MicroKorg GUITARS - Peavey Generation ACMVOCALS - recorded using Shure mics
Influences: I love hearing a good song - that can be in any genre. So, although you won't hear it directly in any of my music, I am as much inspired by KRAFTWERK as I am by ARCTIC MONKEYS and BJORK!. What you may hear, however, is a mixture of any of the following, whom I admire greatly:Beatles, Stones, Who, Led Zep, Slade, ELO, Supertrammp, Abba, Feeling, Zutons, Squeeze, The Quick, Giant Steps, Wings, Beegees, Kanye West, old-type reggae and ska, Northern Soul, 70's Disco, Jamie Cullum, Ray Lamontagne. The list is never ending!

Reality Check

It’s finally here - this song was started over 6 months ago, but took me ages to simplify! "Reality Check" is one of the final tracks to be written for what will hopefully be my debut album.

27-9-07: funny how time flies
