About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

"Mild mannered office monkey by day but bedroom guitarist by night".
I've been song writing for nearly 20 years. I was somewhat classically trained but eventually got utterly bored with playing fromsheet music and the snobbery of it all. I just wanted to create and play music that meant something to me.
Hence I took to teaching myself the guitar and keyboards. I count as my influences U2 and Pink Floyd amongst others. Over theyears I learnt to appreciate a wide range of musical tastes from Goldfrapp to Bob Dylan, Whitesnake to Nora Jones.
I've done the odd few public performances here and there over time but nothing major to get me noticed. I have my own home studioand support other bands with my "kit".
I haven't hungered for fame; I've so far resisted auditioning for the X Factor. Not really my kind of thing and I'm pretty surethey'll turn me down. None the less I still find the programme very entertaining and Simon Cowell is my hero (but don't hold thatagainst me)!
I'm more than interested in collaborating with other like minded folk especially if they want to play my songs live (especiallythose with a better singing voice than mine). Drop me a line.
Cheers
Eric
