Music is my medicine

About Me

Music is my medicine,Music is my makerMusic is my mind,Music is my motivator.I've got a passion for country and for some reason I've not met many like me. I while away the hours with my Bezza (my guitar) attempting to resurrect Patsy Cline through the eyes of this child, but lord knows theres too many cigarettes in the ashtray and still not a stage has this young'in graced. In prep to start giggin soon so keep an ear to the ground folks!I'm in festival mode. So far I've seen Chemical Brothers PArty on the BEach, Oxegen, now I'm gearing up for Glasgowbury, Valfest, Belsonic, Feile and THEN Electric Picnic. What a way to spend money. Shits about to get funky.
