Born In the sunny town of Blackpool, my family moved to Kirkby Stephen; an awesome little town west of the pennines when I was 2 years old. In hindsight i cant imagine growing up anywhere else, living in an area where, after two minutes walk in any direction you can find little rivers, waterfalls open fields, small forests etc. I feel that growing up in this sort of environment has had a positive effect upon me. Once i attended the secondary school in kirkby Stephen, music started playing a more prominent role in my life. I was listening to more types of music and playing more. it wasn’t long before some friends and myself set up a band. Generally doing kinda-rocky songs, but we did try to be different. As I went through secondary school i started experimenting with other types of music. Having so many friends who played instruments helped. When we’d meet up on weekends, we’d have a smoke and then just spend the whole time jamming. Awesome Fun! Whilst completing my GCSE’s I found new artists who just inspired me so much I couldn’t contain myself listening to them. It was like a new path had just appeared in front of me: Roy Harper, Bert Jansch, John Martyn, Nick Drake. I wanted to take music further and took up a BTEC National Diploma in music at Kendal College of Arts. This environment was just perfect for creating music. I found alot of friends at Kendal College, brought together by our love of music. Many Good bands were set up whilst we were all at college: Kwan Yin, K2, and the longest survivng act to date: Paddy and Jack! Well that was two years ago and since then i’ve been filling my time, writing, gigging and ramblin’. Great fun!
