About Me

BIOG
I've been in bands and involved in music for many years now. The highlight so far in my 'band' career was playing guitar in Budapest for two years. This was an incredible experience that involved lots of touring Europe and was a huge education in how the music industry works. Budapest split in November 2006, though to all intents and purposes had been dead for at least six months prior to that.
I am also part of the organisation committee for GWFEST . We ran the event in 2006 at the Great Western Pub in Warwick in the hope of raising 'a few hundred pounds' for local charity Myton Hospice Hamlet.
Instead, we succeeded in raising £4000. In 2007 we ran the event again. raising £8000. 2008 raised very nearly another £8000. 2009 is in the planning alreadyLINKS
