About Me


Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

Welcome to my page - I've been playing around with my guitar for a while now and have enjoyed writing songs and performing them both in a band and solo. Originally I was a member of 'Carpet Ride' and we released 'Sheep Inside The Box'. The boys are now known as 'The Future Kings Of England' and are still tight as F**k and sounding good. After my venture with 'Carpet Ride' I moved on and joined my good friends 'The Wankers' as the guitarist and backing vocalist, it was far too good an opportunity to miss in having fun whilst playing music and getting serverly drunk! We are still going and still getting drunk, much to the annoyance of my liver! I've also recently joined 'Dangers Close' and am enjoying fronting a punk band, things seem to be going well and some nice gigs have come our way. All this aside, I still enjoy my solo music and am still co-writing the album with Kentucky Kev from 'Red Flag 77'. We were hoping to produce this by now as I should have been slowing things down due to the unfortunate illness my doctor diagnosed me with! However, i've just not been able to sit still so have continued to gig with 'The Wankers' and 'Dangers Close' and continued to work my shifts allowing me to spend time with some great kids. However, this has meant that my solo music has taken a back seat - BUT, not for long and the album WILL be out this year. So until my next up date - please sit back a enjoy a taste of whats to come xox
