About Me

Played in bands since I was 14. My first band was 'Bitch'(horrible name I know) then various bands including 'Martyr' a rock band and 'Tienpa' a jazz,rock,reggae,folk,Indian classical fusion(really!). I had to give up live performances some years ago. I had returned from abroad with some kind of fever and rapidly became completely paralyzed this continued for over a year. Then I had to learn to walk,talk and play again but nothings ever been quite the same. So its all studio work now. Hope you like it!......................................................... ........................................................... 'Since everything is but an illusion, Perfect in being what it is, Having nothing to do with good or bad, Acceptance or rejection, One might as well burst out laughing!' ............

Sounds Like: So I ask people and the names that keep cropping up are, Leonard Cohen,Bob Dylan,Johnny Cash and Radiohead. SO maybe in the midst of that lot lies an approximation of my music. I don't want to do the 'like nobody else' number cos if it was 'like nobody else' you wouldn't know it was music would you? ...................................... ............ I'd also like to credit the following for their influence on my Axe style,even if I don't do them justice..................................................Pau l Rudolph (Pink Fairies and Eno's early albums-where are you now Paul?!!), Paul Kossoff (free,Back street Crawler); Ritchie Blackmore; David Gilmour; Steven Mann;& of course Jimi Hendrix without whom (probably) none of these would have come about.
