Band Members: On latest recordings I play keyboards, acoustic and electric guitars, trumpet, mandolin, accordion and tin whistle. Bass and drums are played on keyboards, and i take care of all vocals.
Influences: The Beatles (particularly McCartney, damn that guy knows a catchy hook when he writes one!), Sting for his use of imagery in his lyrics, Paul Simon for similiar reasons, love Stevie Wonder, really into James Morrison, Neil Finn,
Bruce Hornsby and his unmistakable piano! Mike Oldfield for his techniques in layering a multitude of instruments, and not forgetting Mike Crane from Rang-A-Tang, whose musical and arranging senses are as sharp as a freshly sharpened blade, and whose constant striving for the next musical 'rung' on the ladder, has been an inspiration to me from day 1.
Sounds Like: A snowflake, settling on the eyelash of a startled deer...
