Firstly if this page looks strange it is becuase I have designed it on Firefox.I have a strange taste in music I like, blues old and new, folk, rock, the odd bit of classical and other stuff that does not have a catagory so don't be surprised at the bands I listen to.
I play the guitar and love the blues so want to find some people to play in a band with.
My other main interest is in nature and conservation (how different from music can you get). My university course is a FDsc Wildlife Management and I hope to use this to become a reserves officer.
I paint gamesworkshop figures, mostly Lord Of The Rings Stuff. I am a PC gamer and have probably unhealthy obsession with STAR WARS. I also have an interest in history mostly Roman Britain, Napoleonic Wars and some WW1. I am also an avid snooker fan, I have only played a few times but would like to join a club at some time in the future. I have watching for a good 7 odd years, my fav players are Ronnie and Steve Davis.
I'd like to meet:
Love to meet Jeff Beck, not sure what I would say to him though. Also I would like to meet George Lucas and tell him he is a god for creating Star Wars.
Other Information
Anyone who is an Orson Fan (you should be) check out Kevin's other band: Praying Hands. So far he has recorded a few acoustic tracks but listen to them properly because there is a lot of feeling in the Lyrics. If you don't know he is the one with the Les Paul.

I have decided to change the wording of "hero" to most inspirational and technically sound guitarist. So the first is
he is without a doubt THE best guitar player on planet earth but I would not try to cover any of his songs. I listen to a lot of different music and so different guitarists but only a few make me think "wow I want to learn to pay like that" or "I want a sound like that" At this moment for me there are four guitarists that I can say that about: Ian Parker, Aynsley Lister, Dave Dutfield (ColvinQuarmby)and Steve Fister. There is some thing about their playing and sound..... I am sure another guitarist would understand what I mean. Finally (of course) my dad.
