About Me

Born in 1984 in Shoreham grew up in Portslade, spent a lot of my childhood playing football in car parks or Golden Eye on the N64. Almost died Xmas Eve 1995 at my parents house, choked on a bit of Gammon (It wouldn't have been a particularly Rock N Roll death so kinda glad the Gammon didnt get the better of me on that occasion). In the past few years i have made a couple of albums with the Tenderfoot and we're currently in the realms of recording demos for our third one as well. I started a course at university this september and im also writing for my own solo project. Currently living in Kentish Town Norf Larndon! Yowzawww.myspace.com/thetenderfoot
