About Me


MyGen Profile GeneratorWell hello there, I was born in Wolverhampton in the "Black Country" and I have been playing locally for a couple of years...
This site features four songs from my four-song EP "Live At Barristers", which I will be selling for a few pennies at future shows in January 2007. The EP captures me in the throws of live performance, playing my much loved telecaster, in the fictional coffeehouse "barristers". This is a place lodged firmly in my heart and one which I hope one day to open to the world, inviting artists, musicians and performers to perform without fear of failure or ridicule...
I am hoping to record an album of songs over the coming months including those you hear on this site along with "Sunny Day", "Salvation" and "Fallen Down" and these will form the basis for my debut album "Barrister's Lament" along with a number of covers (among them Sting's "Message In A Bottle", James Dean Bradfields "Design for life" and Jeff Buckley's "Eternal life") which may well form B-sides for future single releases.
What you have here I guess, is me captured just before those full recordings...I hope you like what you hear...
