My hair is all my own, don't be angry.

About Me


In a band called The Charlatans (UK), I write songs/music & sing. Also check out the Charlatans page.
I did indeed, do a solo record called - ’I Believe’ - have a listen... some folks like it, including - Weller...
Sung on a couple of Chemical Brothers records, as well as some other artist... (like Hooky’s Free Bass Project).
Maybe later in the year, we will reunite mine & my mates underground diverse ’Super’ group - The Chavs - who have NEVER, ever rehearsed! We like it that fresh/real! Yo! (see The Chavs page for current updates).
Just recently, I produced a couple of tracks (Penelope & Til The Dawn) for a cool London band, called Hatcham Social (check out their page).
I will probably do another solo record some where in the future, but for this year (2008) - The Charlatans just finished a new record - ’You Cross My Path’ (you can even download it for FREE at: http://www.xfm.co.uk/
I also enjoy playing the dj every now & then... (send me records/tunes).
Gotta love the music & the business is just that, unless you give your music away for FREE! Then that makes ME the music business Yo!
Cheers for your support, and hopefully see ya some where soon... xx
